BEMAS Award for Technical Team of the Year

BEMAS organises the Award for Technical Team of the Year to honour technical teams that provide great added value for their company thanks to their achievements and approach in the field of maintenance and management of technical assets.

Everything starts with a good basis. The same goes for maintenance and asset management. Optimal maintenance management starts with strong, well thought-out best practices, which can only be achieved by constant improvement and collaboration by an excellent technical team. Organisations that have taken a major step forward in the applied maintenance and asset management practices are given the opportunity to put their colleagues in the spotlight as Technical Team of the Year. In principle, all types of technical services are eligible, i.e. both maintenance services that work internally at an asset owner, as well as service providing technical services that are active at customers.

The Symposium and Award Night will take place on 22 March 2023 during the Easyfairs Maintenance Fair in Antwerp Expo (Flanders) and on 27 April 2023 during BEMAS Forum Maintenance in Marcinelle (Wallonia)
