Independent judges for OEM Off-Highway Magazine awarded 20 products OEMmies; it is the fifth year that these symbols of excellence have been presented. Each product represents a modern innovation in engineering (the "mie" in OEMmie). Winners are invited to a special awards ceremony at the Houston Spaceflight Center on October 6, 1997. Judges select products that they believe influence
the off-highway market by advancing the state of the art, providing
unique solutions of OEMs or increasing equipment performance.
The product should also demonstrate functional innovation. Products are eligible for OEMmie consideration after they have appeared in OEM Off-Highway. This year's judges selected from the best of more than 1,000 products submitted to this magazine. The judging team included Henry Stoll, Northwestern University; Gene Malinowski, Ohio State University; Minash Shaw, Purdue University; Dan Stutts, University of Missouri - Rolla; and David Rutherford from Zamboni & Co. The OEM Off-Highway OEMmies have been adopted by sister publications Equipment Today, Farm Equipment, PRO, Yard & Garden, Rental Product News and Pavement Maintenance and Reconstruction. Judges for these Johnson Hill Press publications named additional best-in-category products for their respective publications; these bring the OEMmie total to 52.
