It is important for the industry to honor the products and services that are pushing the limits of the concrete sector,” said Jackie James, Vice President of World of Concrete. “Congratulations to the 2024 Innovative Product Award winners!”

The People’s Choice Award is presented to one winner in each program category. Industry professionals at the World of Concrete and the WOC360 audience voted on products and services that were entered into the program. Voting opened in early January and ended on February 9, 2024.

The People’s Choice winners are listed below:

The Experts’ Choice award winners were selected by a panel of World of Concrete editors and industry experts. The winners stood out from the competition in their ability to aid performance and competence and become a new industry standard in the field. The experts recognized the winning products in this category by naming them either a sustainable or a disruptive innovation.

Sustainable innovations incrementally improve an existing process or product. The innovation alters how contractors and producers can deliver productivity or increase safety or engineering efficiency in real time. Disruptive innovations sweep away old systems or habits and replace them with attributes that recognizably make the product or process easier, safer, and more productive. Their introduction or acceptance requires a little longer view of the future, often facilitating other innovations when brought to the field.
