First introduced last year, the IMR Manufacturing and Supply Chain Awards showcase exceptional achievement, teamwork and innovation in Irish manufacturing.
They are unique in recognising not only the achievements of Irish manufacturing companies and their supply chains but also of the collaborating teams within them.
Highlight implementation of smart thinking
The awards competition was established to highlight the implementation of smart thinking to enable competitive manufacturing, while reflecting Ireland’s capacity to deliver world-class manufacturing and attract inward investment.
All of the finalists are listed below under the various categories which span the full spectrum of the Irish manufacturing industry.
The winners in each category of the 2020 IMR Manufacturing and Supply Chain Awards will be announced at a special ceremony and gala dinner in the Citywest Hotel in Dublin on the evening of Wednesday, January 29, 2020.
The awards are run by Premier Publishing & Events, the Dublin-based international conference and exhibition organiser and publisher, in association with Irish Manufacturing Research (IMR), the independent not-for-profit research organisation, funded under the Enterprise Ireland/IDA Technology Centres programme, to provide applied research solutions and advanced manufacturing expertise, technology transfer and training to the manufacturing sector in Ireland.
The awards presentation dinner will be a fitting conclusion to the opening day of the 2020 National Manufacturing & Supply Chain Conference & Exhibition taking place at the CityWest Convention Centre on January 29-30.
The 2019 National Manufacturing and Supply Chain Conference & Exhibition set new records in terms of its scale and visitor numbers, attracting more than 5,000 people from all over Ireland.
