The AWFS®Fair Visionary New Product Awards are prestigious awards recognizing exhibitors for innovation and new-to-market products, which includes any product that has been introduced to the industry since the 2023 AWFS®Fair (July 2023). All companies whose entries were accepted had the opportunity to place their featured product in the Visionary New Product Showcase for the duration of the show. This showcase was located in the main lobby in front of the West Hall and has consistently proven to be one of the Fair’s most popular features.

 Products went head-to-head in the following categories: components; software; industry 4.0; raw materials; plastic machinery/supplies; tooling; machinery under 50K; machinery over 50K; power tools, hardware, innovation, and user-friendliness. Winners were selected by a panel of third-party judges.
