Entries are now open for the Torque-Expo Awards 2026.
Open to all companies, not just Torque-Expo exhibitors, the Awards recognise outstanding achievements and innovative products across the sector, while also reflecting the growing focus on sustainability by celebrating solutions developed with environmental impact in mind.
The Torque-Expo Awards is also keen to showcase positive initiatives from fastener, tool and related businesses. This includes companies that have strengthened employee support in the post-pandemic period, as well as those actively engaging with and giving back to their local communities, all of whom are invited to share their stories through the Awards programme.
In addition, the Torque-Expo Awards will highlight individual achievement, from high-performing apprentices to those who have made a significant contribution to the industry, through the Outstanding Industry Achievement Award.
Nine categories are open for submission:
• Product Innovation Award – Fasteners and fixings
• Product Innovation Award – Tools
• Product Innovation Award – Workwear
• Webshop of the Year
• Employee Engagement Initiative of the Year
• Sustainability Initiative of the Year
• Apprentice of the Year
• Community Initiative of the Year
• Outstanding Industry Achievement Award
The entry deadline is 28 March 2026. Submissions received after this date will not be considered.
This year, the Networking Evening will be held alongside the Awards, giving attendees the chance to connect with friends, colleagues and customers in a relaxed and informal setting. The event will take place at the Telford International Centre, with welcome drinks served from 4.30pm.
