Nominations are now open for the 2025 Endeavour Awards – Australia’s premier manufacturing industry awards.
Presented annually by Manufacturers’ Monthly, the Endeavour Awards are the premier national awards program recognising outstanding achievement in the Australian manufacturing industry.
The 2025 Endeavour Awards Gala is more than just an awards night, it’s a celebration of innovation, resilience, and excellence across the sector. It brings together manufacturers from all corners of the country to honour achievements, connect with industry peers, and spotlight the inspiring people and companies shaping Australia’s manufacturing future.
The 2025 award categories include:
- Technology Application Award – Sponsored by Weld Australia

- Innovation in Food & Beverage Manufacturing
- Innovation in Transport
- Outstanding Start-Up Award
- Leader of the Year – Sponsored by BDO Australia

For the first time in the award’s history there will be an Innovation in Food Manufacturing Award. This category celebrates innovations that improve food and beverage production. It is open to businesses developing new solutions in processing, packaging, automation, or sustainability.
To be eligible, innovations must be either newly introduced to the market or significantly advanced within the two years leading up to the nomination closing date.
Now more than ever, it’s crucial to support and champion local food manufacturing. This is an opportunity to recognise those making a real difference, whether they’re driving innovation, supplying vital products or services, or leading their organisations with vision and impact.
