Celebrating manufacturing excellence and delivered in partnership with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), and with a combined heritage spanning over half a century, the TMMX Awards honour the best in manufacturing in categories ranging from innovation and sustainability to skills and operational excellence.
For 2026, the programme has expanded further still, with The Manufacturer Top 100 joining forces with the TMMX Awards to bring together individual and organisational recognition within one platform, including brand new categories celebrating the people driving transformation across the sector. The programme is open to U.K. manufacturers of all sizes and from varying sectors.
Members of the judging panel bring an extensive amount of industry expertise and knowledge, with representatives from major manufacturing business and the IMechE, as well as judges drawn from previous winning organisations such as Siemens Congleton and Sertec.
The Manufacturer MX Awards are a personal highlight of everything we do at The Manufacturer. With the addition of brand-new people-focused categories for 2026, we’re able to celebrate not only world-class businesses but also the exceptional people driving transformation within them. With the shortlist recently announced, we can’t wait to see how this year’s finalists showcase the very best of UK manufacturing in the second round of judging.
