In their 15th year, the Awards recognise the achievements of companies working in the export industry in Ireland. Combilift took home the overall Exporter of the Year Award 2015 after also winning the hotly contested Multinational Exporter of the Year Award category earlier in the evening. This is the second time the award was scooped by Combilift as it won the same accolade in 2008 as an SME.

Combilift developed an IC engine-powered, all-wheel-drive multidirectional forklift and today exports its wide range of handling products to more than 75 countries. Sales in the period from 2012 to 2014 rose by 48%.
