Leading rotating electrics supplier, WAI Europe, has made the shortlist for Supplier of the Year at the 2026 CAT Awards, with the winner’s ceremony taking place at the Lowry Hotel in Manchester on 26th February.
The announcement comes shortly after the successful integration of WAI and PSH over the last 12 months, since WAI acquired the business in late 2024. The integration of both businesses has created one of the most diverse and capable product portfolios in the market.
Richard Welland, Chief Commercial Officer at WAI, commented “On behalf of WAI, we’re delighted to have made the shortlist for the prestigious CAT Awards yet again, recognising the very best the industry currently has to offer.”
WAI’s recent successes have been driven by its commitment to quality and continuous improvement, going from strength to strength with every product undergoing rigorous testing to meet or exceed OE standards.
WAI has made significant investments in infrastructure and strengthening and aligning its teams, maintaining a customer-first mindset which has helped them to be recognised by the CAT Awards committee.
The company’s outlook on 2026 retains its long-standing commitment serving the aftermarket with the highest standards of quality, reliability and compliance.
