In recognition of its ongoing work and product offering to the Chinese market, Perkins has been named as the “Most Influential Brand, Power System” in an annual survey organised by HC360, the most visited industry website in China.

In addition, Perkins® also secured the “Technology Innovation Award for the Year” in the same survey, which recognised the new power solutions which have been developed at the company’s Wuxi manufacturing facility, specifically tailored to the needs of the Chinese domestic market.

The awards are organised under the guidance of the Parts and Components Chapter, China Construction Machinery Association (CCMA), and supported by relevant government agencies overseeing the construction machinery industry, as well as major trade journals.

The first round of popular voting was followed by the expert review, with seasoned experts in the Chinese construction machinery industry judging for the second stage of the contest.

Shortlisted candidates were assessed according to their submitted profile and market research data collected by the panel. Different percentages were assigned to each of the selection criterion including popular voting, expert review, media and buyers review. A final score was calculated for each candidate based on the weighted scores.

In a grand award presentation ceremony held at the Nanjiao Hotel, Shanghai, Perkins marketing director Nigel Baseley accepted the awards on behalf of the company.

Thanking all those who had supported Perkins over the past six years, Nigel said: “We are delighted to receive these awards which are voted for by end users and industry experts. Both awards recognise the hard work and commitment that the business has and continues to make in China.

“We are committed to continuing this effort and sustaining our support to Chinese equipment manufacturers, by offering products of the highest quality and state-of-the-art technology, as well as a comprehensive aftersales service, thereby contributing to the healthy and swift development of China’s construction machinery and components industry.”
