We are proud to announce a prestigious milestone for CMB: last May 5, at SaMoTer 2026, our company was awarded the SaMoTer Innovation Award in the Components category.

This international recognition rewards our continued investment in research and development and confirms CMB as a technological benchmark in the forest handling equipment industry.

Innovation at the service of the forest: Hydramec 360°

The undisputed star of the awards ceremony was the HDM Hydramec 360° rotation system. Designed to equip our felling shears, this system represents a fundamental leap forward for forestry operators.

Why did Hydramec 360° win? In modern forest management, precision and stability are everything. The award-winning system offers:

• Absolute precision: Thanks to 360° continuous rotation and a parallel-axis spur gear assembly, equipment control is smooth and millimeter-like.
• Stability and Safety: Optimized balancing dramatically reduces attachment drift and torsional stresses on the excavator boom, extending machine life.
• Hydraulic Power: Two state-of-the-art synchronized motors ensure high performance even under extreme load conditions.

An Award for Made in Italy

Receiving this award on the SaMoTer stage, in front of the industry’s leading players, is a source of great pride for us. It is a recognition that goes to the entire CMB team, committed every day at the Asigliano Veneto facility to designing robust, reliable and state-of-the-art solutions.

As the photos from the award ceremony show, enthusiasm is high: this award is not an end point, but an extra push to continue innovating and making our customers’ work safer and more efficient around the world.
