Nominations are now officially open for the 2026 Australian Bulk Handling Awards.
As Australia’s only awards program dedicated exclusively to the bulk solids handling industry, the Australian Bulk Handling Awards are back to recognise and celebrate the outstanding achievements of companies and individuals who have demonstrated innovation, excellence and leadership throughout the year.
This year, the prestigious awards dinner will take place at ONE23 Rooftop in Melbourne on 16 September, concluding the first day of the biennial Bulk Handling Expo.

The bulk handling industry has made huge strides over the past few years, particularly around safety, automation, sustainability and efficiency. There’s been a real shift in how the sector is embracing innovation and tackling challenges head-on.” Prime Creative Media head of awards and conferences Caitlyn Douglas said.
