Soydan VT Consultancy and Otis win vertical-transport awards at CIBSE MENA ceremony

Vertical-transport winners

Soydan VT Consultancy won VT Consultancy of the Year and Otis Elevator Co won VT Manufacturer of the Year at the 2026 CIBSE Middle East and North Africa Awards. CIBSE published the results on 30 October following a ceremony in Dubai. The awards cover building services engineering across the region, with the two vertical-transport winners named among its company and team awards. [1]

For lift-sector readers, the results are notable because they give vertical transportation distinct categories within a wider building engineering programme. CIBSE’s announcement names the winners but does not set out the judging assessments behind either award. The results should therefore be read as recognition by the awards programme, not as evidence of a particular product’s performance or a comparison of engineering methods. [1]

Wider building services context

The programme also named Cundall as MEP Consultancy of the Year and BK Gulf LLC as MEP Contractor of the Year. Its other categories span projects, individual engineers, sustainability and digital innovation. That breadth places the lift-sector awards alongside disciplines with which vertical-transport teams work on building projects. [1]
