Putzmeister America, Inc. Wins Two International Marketing Awards

Putzmeister America, Inc. has received two 2016 Summit Creative Awards in the Summit International Awards’ (SIA) 22nd annual competition. The winning entries were selected from 5,000 submissions from 21 different countries.

Putzmeister received a Silver Award in the “Card / Announcement / Invitation – Print” category for its “2015 Holiday Card,” which highlighted both a truck-mounted concrete boom pump and a concrete transit mixer in a tri-fold design, featuring intricate die-cutting and foil stamping.

“So many of our customers look forward to receiving our holiday cards every year,” said Kelly Blickle, marketing manager for Putzmeister. “It’s always fun to see how we can top previous years. It’s an honor to be recognized with this prestigious creative award for the card, and as always, we’re looking forward to mailing out the next one.”

In the category of “Product/Service Promotion Video,” Putzmeister received a Bronze Award for its “Building a Putzmeister Boom Pump” video. The three-minute, time-lapse video was shot over the course of several months, and shows work being done at 16 different stations in the plant. It demonstrates the step-by-step process of manufacturing a Putzmeister truck-mounted pump, from the earliest stages to the detailed paint job. The video initially premiered at the World of Concrete trade show in early 2016. To view it, visit Putzmeister America’s YouTube channel.

“Over the past few years, we’ve invested in creating several educational videos for our customers,” said Blickle. “This one was a huge undertaking, and we’re extremely proud of how it turned out.”

Over the past 22 years, the SIA organization has established itself as one of the premier arbiters of creative excellence. For more information on the Summit Awards, visit www.summitawards.com.
