CBL 900: DesignEuropa Awards 2026 Industry Finalist

The DesignEuropa Awards 2026 have come to an end, with CBL 900 completing its journey as one of the three finalists in the Industry category.
For FIRSTGREEN Industries, reaching the final was an important recognition of the way we approach design.
CBL 900 was designed around people, their safety and the environments they work in. Its cabinless concept and remote control allow the operator to stay at a safer distance, while its compact profile and fully electric architecture were developed around the demands of real applications.
We just also happen to believe that a machine built to work hard can look pretty good while doing it.
But what made the whole DesignEuropa experience truly special for us was the response from the people around FIRSTGREEN.
Partners wrote to tell us they were cheering for CBL 900, voting repeatedly and forwarding the link across their teams. Customers and suppliers joined in. And inside FIRSTGREEN, colleagues were comparing how many times they had voted over coffee and following the competition together.
We expected support. We did not expect quite this much enthusiasm.
And that is something we will take away from the competition regardless of the final result.
It reminded us that FIRSTGREEN is not only about the machines we build. It is also about the customers, partners, suppliers and colleagues who believe in what we are doing and want to be part of it.
Thank you for every vote, every share, every message and every word of encouragement.
We would also like to thank EUIPO and the DesignEuropa Awards team for a great experience and for their support throughout the entire process.
And of course, congratulations to this year’s winners.
We are proud that CBL 900 made it to the DesignEuropa Awards 2026 Industry final. And even more grateful for the community that stood behind it.
