Six companies were recognised with show awards at the official opening of the 2009 Queensland Truck and Machinery Show in mid May. |

Wright added: The judges commended both the individual winners and the industry as a whole on a truly world class display at this years show which is conducted on a biennial basis attracting in excess of 340 exhibitors and over 40,000 attendees.
