Previous inductees include Patrick Thomas, former chairman and CEO of Covestro, and John Televantos, senior partner at Arsenal Capital Partners.

    • Automotive Innovation Award
    • Footwear/Clothing Innovation Award
    • Cold Chain/Refrigeration Innovation Award
    • Building/Construction Innovation Award
    • CASE Innovation Award
    • Flexible Foam Innovation Award
    • Rigid Foam Innovation Award
    • Environmental Award
    • Process Improvement Award

    The panel of judges for the inaugural UTECH Europe Awards comprises Michel Baumgartner, secretary general, Europur; Jörg Palmersheim, secretary general, Isopa & Alipa; Per Henning Vaagen, general manager/CEO, Laader Berg; Tony Ryan, technical director – UK & Ireland, Kingspan Ltd; Mike Murray, CTO, Vita Group; Ulrich Liman, senior vice president, PU Business Unit, Covestro and Grayzyna Mitchener, director, Polychemtech.
