IFOY Award 2025: Certificates awarded for "Best in Intralogistics"
As part of the opening of the Test Camp Intralogistics, the organizers of the International Intralogistics and Forklift Truck of the Year (IFOY) Award presented the "Best in Intralogistics" certificates 2025 on 26 March in Dortmund.
Representatives from a total of 15 companies received their certificates at the Dortmund trade fair from Jan Drömer, Chairman of the VDMA Materials Handling and Intralogistics Association.
These companies may use the seal for their nominated innovations in future: aluco, Blickfeld, ecoro, enabl, EP Equipment Germany, Exotec, Filics, Geekplus Europe, Hubtex, Interroll, Jungheinrich, Logitrans, Plancise, Still and Verity.
The "Best in Intralogistics" seal is intended to highlight the high degree of innovation of the products and solutions nominated for the IFOY Award. "Anyone applying for the IFOY Award with an innovation must undergo a three-part audit in Dortmund after being nominated. Only those who successfully complete this can bear the Best in Intralogistics seal," explained Anita Würmser, Managing Chairwoman of the jury.
Test procedure in the IFOY Audit
The IFOY Audit was held for the fifth time at Messe Dortmund in 2025. It consists of several series of tests, the results of which serve as a basis for the 25 jury members - leading logistics journalists from all over the world - to select the winners. The nominated innovations are never compared directly with each other, but are always evaluated in the context of currently comparable market solutions. This ensures an objective assessment of performance and degree of innovation.
Award ceremony in July
It has not yet been announced who will take home the coveted IFOY Award trophies in 2025. The secret will only be revealed at the IFOY Award Night on July 3, 2025 in Dortmund's Phoenix des Lumières.
