We’ve got some news we’re genuinely chuffed about: IWM has been shortlisted for the Automate UK Awards 2026. It’s one of the industry’s most respected awards, covering automation, processing, and manufacturing across the UK, and making the shortlist means a lot to us.
The judges said the standard of entries this year was exceptionally high, so being picked out from that crowd feels like real recognition of the work our team puts in every single day, designing, building, installing, and servicing industrial washing machines and hygiene equipment for businesses up and down the country.
If you’re not familiar with them, the Automate UK Awards celebrate the companies doing the best work across automation, vision, processing, packaging, and manufacturing in the UK. They’re not handed out lightly. Every year they recognise the businesses that are genuinely raising the bar, whether that’s through clever engineering, standout customer service, or just consistently getting the job done right for food, pharmaceutical, and manufacturing clients who can’t afford to get hygiene wrong.
Being shortlisted puts our work in industrial washing and hygiene equipment alongside some of the best names in UK manufacturing and automation, which, honestly, is exactly the kind of company we want to be keeping.
We’ve been supplying industrial washing machines and hygiene equipment for over 40 years now, working with businesses in food processing, pharmaceuticals, hospitality, and manufacturing. A nomination like this isn’t just a nice line for the trophy cabinet. It’s outside confirmation that what we do actually matters to the people who rely on it.
Whether that’s a bespoke tray washer keeping a food production line moving, a bin washer helping a distribution site stay on top of hygiene, or a full washing system for a pharmaceutical facility, this shortlisting is a reflection of the standard we hold ourselves to, day in and day out.
This nomination sits alongside a few other credentials we’re proud of, including our EHEDG membership, Safe Contractor accreditation, the Queen's Award for Export Achievement and our long-standing Automate PPMA certification. Over four decades in this industry, we’ve helped businesses across food service, pharmaceutical, manufacturing, and hospitality keep their hygiene standards where they need to be, with equipment that’s built to work hard and keep working.
So whether you’re after a new industrial washing machine, bespoke hygiene equipment, or just need some support with the machinery you’ve already got, you’re talking to a team that’s earned this kind of recognition the hard way.
We’re proud to be on the Automate UK Awards 2026 shortlist, and even prouder of the people who made it happen. If you’d like to chat about our industrial washing machines and hygiene equipment, or want some advice on the right solution for your business, get in touch with our team today. We’d love to hear from you.
