Finalists in the “Existing Innovation” category were: Bishamon Industries, Daifuku Webb, Dematic, Intelligent Lighting Systems, Fox IV Technologies and Jungheinrich. In the “New Innovation” category, finalists included: Blickle Casters, Engineered Lifting Systems, Intelligrated, KUKA Systems, Opex Corporation and Packsize International.
