After a four-month voting period with around 20,000 votes cast, the winners in the 24 categories of the Best of Industry Awards have now been determined. The winners were chosen by end users and presented on Dec. 7 at a large awards ceremony in Würzburg, Germany.

WFL Millturn Technologies was one of the winners, earning the award in the Modular Machine Concept category with the M20 Millturn. The list of winners list below,
 
“We are very pleased about this special award that WFL won on December 7th, 2023 at the award ceremony in Würzburg. We would like to thank everyone who gave us their vote,” the company said in a statement.

When developing the product, the team had special requirements and challenges - such as the optimal design and development of the mechanical engineering kit. The difficulty here was to combine the following aspects: On the one hand, the high variety of variants, the complexity and the performance data, and, on the other hand, the compact machine dimensions that had to be realized.
