• The manufacturer is providing a trailer as a stage for the IFOY TEST DAYS 2022.
• Applicant portal at www.ifoy.org open until October 30, 2021.

The trailer manufacturer Fliegl Fahrzeugbau is a new partner of the IFOY AWARD. The vehicle manufacturer from Triptis in Thuringia, Germany, will supply a semi-trailer, which will serve as a stage during the IFOY TEST DAYS and the TEST CAMP Intralogistics, taking place again in March 2022 on the grounds of Messe Dortmund. All products and solutions that have made it to the final round of the IFOY AWARD will undergo individually coordinated driving and functional tests during the IFOY TEST DAYS and will be awarded with the "Best in Intralogistics" certificates after successfully completing the three-stage IFOY audit. This presentation will take place on the trailer stage. In addition, the stage serves as a visitor meeting point and central photo motif.

"Fliegl Fahrzeugbau supports the IFOY AWARD as an official partner because the topics of innovation and sustainability are firmly anchored in our corporate philosophy," says Helmut Fliegl, owner and managing director of Fliegl Fahrzeugbau GmbH, explaining his company’s commitment. "We offer modern transport solutions that meet the criteria of innovative, sustainable intralogistics," he emphasises. "Fliegl is a company that focuses on innovation, safety, economy and sustainability with its products," adds Anita Würmser, jury chairwoman of the IFOY AWARD. "These are all characteristics not only representative for the IFOY AWARD, but also for our partners," she continues.

The International Intralogistics and Forklift Truck of the Year (IFOY AWARD) has established itself as an indicator of cost-effectiveness and innovation and is considered the definitive innovation award in intralogistics due to its technical expertise. The jury, that includes the editors-in-chief of leading international logistics media, makes its decisions independently, according to transparent criteria and on the basis of professional expertise. The decisive factor is that the nominees are not compared with each other, but with their competitive products on the market. In addition, jurors and their teams of advisors from the business world travel to assess the finalists themselves before casting their vote. The application phase for the IFOY AWARD 2022 is currently running. The applicant portal at www.ifoy.org is open until October 30. All information about the award can also be found there.

The sponsors of the IFOY AWARD, which is under the patronage of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, are the German Association for Materials Handling and Intralogistics and the Robotics + Automation Association within the VDMA. Other IFOY partners in addition to Fliegl are Messe Dortmund and the world’s leading forklift attachment manufacturer Cascade. The IFOY AWARD’s pallet partner is CHEP, the world market leader in the pooling of pallets and containers. The logistics real estate partner is GARBE, the logistics partner is LTG.

Under the motto "IFOY meets Business", B2B trade visitors from the logistics sector are again admitted on two days during the IFOY TEST DAYS in 2022. The TEST CAMP Intralogistics enables logistics decision-makers to take test drives, test equipment and obtain general product information from the companies that have made it to the IFOY finals and are presenting nominated vehicles and solutions of the current year as well as past years. The number of participants is limited.
