Bobcat has announced that the company has won awards in three major categories in the 2026 Construction Machinery Middle East (CMME) Awards. Announced at a ceremony that took place recently at the Ritz Carlton JBR in Dubai, with over 120 guests in attendance, companies and individuals walked away with a total of 35 awards on the night, comprising 32 award winners and three Honourable Achievement plaques selected from over 100 nominees.
The CMME awards recognise excellence in construction machinery and allied services and the gala event was attended by many of the leading players in the regional construction equipment sector, as well as senior industry personnel from outside the region.
Gaby Rhayem, Regional Director for Middle East-Africa-CIS-Turkey for Doosan Bobcat, said: “Bobcat is honoured to have been recognized with three distinguished industry awards at the CMME awards ceremony, reflecting the continued strength of the Bobcat brand and our commitment to excellence, innovation and customer-focused solutions to deliver trusted solutions to the construction equipment industry.”
The awards won by Bobcat included one of the most prestigious at the event:
– Original Equipment Manufacturer of the Year – Compact Equipment – Doosan Bobcat EMEA
This was joined by two more coveted awards:
– Skid Steer Loader of the Year for the company’s market-leading S450 skid-steer loader
– Logistics Equipment of the Year – Bulk Handling for the Bobcat DV250S-7 forklift model
Gaby Rhayem continued: “These recognitions are especially meaningful because they highlight what matters most in our industry: performance, reliability, innovation and customer trust. They also reflect the strength of the Bobcat product portfolio, the dedication of our teams and the continued trust of our customers and partners. This reinforces Bobcat’s position, one more time, as a leader in compact equipment and logistics solutions.”
In recent years, Bobcat has secured a significant share of the Middle East and Africa market for backhoe loaders, as well as launching the company’s latest generation telehandlers and compact loaders. Bobcat has also expanded its presence in the forklift and warehouse equipment market as well as continuing to develop its market-leading range of portable power equipment. The product portfolio has now been further extended with a range of small articulated loaders and turf renovation equipment.
Gaby Rhayem added: “I would like to sincerely thank everyone at Bobcat, our Dealers and our Customers for their continued support. These awards are a result of shared dedication, teamwork and a commitment to excellence. We at Bobcat will continue working to deliver products and solutions that create real value on the jobsite and beyond. As we look ahead, we remain focused on delivering industry-leading solutions that help our customers achieve more every day.”
