The International Intralogistics and Forklift Truck of the Year Award (IFOY AWARD) starts the competition year 2021 with a new partner: GARBE Industrial Real Estate GmbH. The Hamburg-based provider and manager of logistics and corporate real estate is the exclusive partner for the logistics real estate sector. The meanwhile ninth run of the world’s most important intralogistics competition will already begin after the presentation of the IFOY AWARD 2020 on July 13 at 6 pm. Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, this will be the first time that the competition will be held on the Internet.

"The world’s most important intralogistics competition offers innovative and sustainable intralogistics solutions a public stage. GARBE Industrial Real Estate GmbH creates the appropriate space and develops tailor-made enclosures in which the intralogistics products can release their full potential. We are looking forward to seeing our customers, to exciting IFOY TEST DAYS and to supporting the IFOY AWARD as an official partner", emphasises GARBE Managing Director Jan Dietrich Hempel.

"The times in which users of commercial real estate did not attach importance to the quality of their investments are over. Certified, sustainable logistics properties with modern technical building equipment, high-quality industrial floors for industrial trucks and autonomous guided vehicles are a must for many companies today. With its logistics properties, GARBE is therefore an ideal partner for the IFOY AWARD," says Anita Würmser, managing jury chairwoman of the IFOY AWARD.

The aim is to document the performance and innovative strength of intralogistics and to contribute to the competitiveness and image improvement of the entire industry in the public eye. The IFOY AWARD is selected annually by an independent jury of international trade journalists.
