Combilift Named “Company of the Year” By KPMG Ireland
Combilift, the global leader in material handling solutions, has been awarded Company of the Year at the prestigious Business & Finance Awards 2024, in association with KPMG Ireland. This remarkable achievement marks Combilift’s ninth major business award win in the past three months.
The Company of the Year award, presented to Combilift’s CEO Martin McVicar by Seamus Hand of KPMG at the 50th Business & Finance Awards ceremony held in Dublin, is a testament to the company’s significant impact on both the Irish economy and the global market. Combilift, with annual revenue exceeding €500 million, has continued to thrive with its export-focused business model, with 98% of its operations serving international markets.
Martin McVicar, CEO of Combilift, comments, “This award reflects the bold vision and relentless drive that has been at the heart of Combilift since Robert Moffett and I started in 1998. Every forklift, every innovation, and every milestone reflects our commitment to pushing boundaries and transforming material handling worldwide. This moment belongs to our employees, our dealers, and our customers who rely on us to deliver quality material handling solutions to optimize their warehouse space.”
Since its founding in 1998, Combilift has built a global reputation as the largest manufacturer of multi-directional, articulated, and side loading forklifts, as well as large material handling equipment such as straddle carriers, with over 85,000 units in operation across 85 countries.
Winning this award places Combilift among an elite group of previous winners, including industry giants Glen Dimplex, Kingspan, Primark, Google, and Intel. As a homegrown Irish business with a global footprint, this latest recognition serves as a powerful reminder of the company’s ongoing success and its role in shaping the future of the material handling industry.
