Local company Mecalac Construction Equipment UK has scooped the Export prize at this year's Coventry Telegraph Business Awards.

The compact equipment specialist celebrated its win at a ceremony in the Ricoh Arena yesterday, 25 September.

The judges were impressed with Mecalac's sustained export volumes. Widely considered a global leader in the design and build of compact construction equipment, products manufactured at the company's UK headquarters in Prologis Park are used in more than 38 countries worldwide.


Paul Macpherson, UK Sales and Marketing Director at Mecalac CEUK, commented: "Winning the Export Award at this year's Coventry Telegraph Business Awards is testament to the whole team's hard work, experience and commitment. We believe that Coventry is a hub of engineering innovation, R&D and design excellence, so much so that our equipment portfolio is renowned the world over."

The company's success comes as the latest announcement in a long line of achievements for Mecalac CEUK. Alongside launching its all-new cabbed site dumper range – the MDX – earlier this year, the company has secured a number of high-profile supply contracts and further expanded its global dealer network.

Mr Macpherson added: "As a business that prides itself on offering global access to state-of-the-art construction equipment, we're delighted to receive such positive feedback from a highly-prestigious judging panel."
