There are new categories in the 2012 Product of the Year contest, so review the entry form carefully, submit as many new products as you’d like and see which ones are named finalists in the November issue of Plant Engineering.
Readers then vote on the finalists, and the winners will be honored at the annual Product of the Year dinner in March 2013 in Chicago. The product that receives the most votes among all entries will receive the 25th anniversary Grand Award.
