CDE has been named as one of Ireland's 'Best Managed' companies in the Deloitte Best Managed Companies Awards Programme for the fourth year in a row.
The company was recognised at a gala awards dinner in the Burlington Hotel in Dublin, where Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Richard Bruton, was special guest speaker at the event.

Brendan McGurgan, managing director, CDE said: "We are delighted to receive the award for the fourth year running and to be recognised as one of Ireland's 'Best Managed' Companies. Since the year 2000 we have grown from a standing start to be one of the largest manufacturers of washing plant on the global market.
"This growth has been achieved as a result of our focus on innovation and product development. We have a track record of bringing new products to market and in the last two years these developments have included the M2500 mobile washing plant, our Aggmax attrition system, the Rotomax logwasher and significant enhancements to the range of Aquacycle thickeners that we produce."
Brendan Jennings, managing partner, Deloitte and judging panel member said: "Huge congratulations must go to all the winners of this year's programme. The judging panel were extremely impressed with the innovative strategies that are being adopted by Irish management teams.
"From diversification strategies to a particular focus on foreign expansion and overseas markets, Irish companies are exploiting new and exciting opportunities to ensure growth in their companies."
