About this award
APAC Insider is proud to present the APAC Manufacturing Awards 2026, a prestigious programme recognising the businesses, innovators, and industry leaders shaping the future of manufacturing across the Asia-Pacific region.
As one of the world’s most influential manufacturing hubs, APAC continues to lead the way in production, innovation, technological advancement, and industrial growth. From advanced electronics and automotive engineering to pharmaceuticals, food production, aerospace, heavy industry, and smart manufacturing, the region’s manufacturers play a critical role in supporting global supply chains, technological progress, and economic growth.
The manufacturing landscape is evolving rapidly. Digital transformation, automation, artificial intelligence, sustainable production methods, and Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing technologies are reshaping operations and creating new opportunities for businesses willing to innovate. Throughout APAC, organisations are embracing these changes to enhance efficiency, improve product quality, reduce environmental impact, and strengthen their competitive advantage.
The APAC Manufacturing Awards 2026 celebrate those organisations leading the way within their industries. Our programme seeks to recognise manufacturers, suppliers, service providers, and industry specialists that have demonstrated exceptional performance, innovation, and industry leadership within their respective fields.
Celebrating Achievement Across the Manufacturing Sector
The awards are open to businesses of all sizes operating within the manufacturing ecosystem across the Asia-Pacific region. Whether you are a multinational manufacturer, specialist producer, emerging enterprise, or trusted industry supplier, we welcome nominations from organisations making a significant contribution to the manufacturing sector.
Our merit-driven approach ensures that all nominees are assessed fairly on their achievements, contributions, and overall performance. Assessment criteria may include innovation, business growth, operational efficiency, product quality, customer satisfaction, sustainability initiatives, market impact, and broader contributions to the industry.
By recognising outstanding achievement across the manufacturing sector, we aim to showcase the organisations helping to shape the future of industry throughout APAC.

Frequently asked questions
How long has APAC Insider been in circulation for?
APAC Insider has been in circulation since 2015 and has been building up an impressive reputation for its excellent look into the sectors it covers. The publication aims to serve the vast Asia-Pacific region, which is home to more than one third of the world’s biggest businesses including the likes of Toyota, Sony and Bank of China. APAC Insider is published by AI Global Media, a UK based publishing group launched in 2010.
Where did my nomination come from?
A company or individual can be nominated in various ways, including self-nomination, nominated by a third-party, or nomination by our in-house research team. In the interest of maintaining high response rates, we do not ask nominees to reveal their identity. The main ethos of our awards system is that your ability to succeed is not linked to the number of votes received, with the most pertinent belief behind this being that all awards will be received on merit. As a means of identifying spam votes and countering cyber-threats, we monitor the website for unusual behaviour.
What happens if I agree to be considered further?
As we look to keep maximum focus on relevant candidates, we ask all nominees to accept their position on the shortlist. This gives individuals complete control in their decision on whether they would like to move forward with the award. There is no cost for you to be added onto the shortlist or if you go on to win. Nominees who accept will then proceed to our internal vetting procedure. Nominees are given an opportunity to present their own data which gets considered alongside the information collated by our research team. Please note it can take up to 8 weeks for research to be completed.
Who selects the winners?
A team of five individuals make up our panel. Collectively they possess in excess of 30 years of experience in researching businesses to assess their suitability for an award win. Our continued use of this panel plays a key part in enforcing APAC Insider’s stance that winners are not determined by popularity, but by their contributions to their industry sector.
Is there a winner’s ceremony?
While we appreciate everyone will want to celebrate their success, this can look different to all winners. Many of the awards are also open across various regions within the Asian Pacific, and therefore many separate events would need to be arranged. Alongside this thought, we believe in keeping a cost-effective marketing philosophy, and do not wish to add further expense to any business or individual. Our press announcements are made digitally, online and across our network to enforce our position as digital publishers. We aim to provide you with the tools (both digital and physical) to generate real-world value.
If I do win, what happens next?
There is a short press embargo in place where we ask winners to refrain from any public announcements, giving us the chance to prepare the different means of coverage we offer. During this period the program manager will liaise with you to agree on the most appropriate coverage for you. Our main feature takes the form of a digital magazine, but we also offer physical trophies, wall mounted plaques, digital certificates, web-based advertisements, and press releases. The range of options are aimed to make the awards tailor-made to each individual firm, regardless of budget.
Are there any costs involved?
All awards are at no cost to be nominated or to win. We do offer a variety of paid additional benefits for our winners, and these are entirely optional and merely supplementary to your award rather than essential. To demonstrate our commitment to no mandatory fees, all winners are offered a free of charge promotional package. Our company policy will always remain: regardless of budget, our clients should always be able to garner the full value of the award.
I have another question that isn’t listed here.
