Recognition built on real results
The GelatoConnect Awards were created to honour the producers who are not waiting for the industry to change. They are the ones changing it.
Winners are selected from across the global GelatoConnect network, based on demonstrated results: operational improvements, growth achieved, partnerships built, and innovations deployed.
The 2026 ceremony took place at the GelatoConnect Summit in Lisbon, in front of over 200 producers from across Europe, the US, and Australia.
The categories. Five ways to lead.
Connector Award
For the producer whose relationships and network activity have created meaningful new value for partners, customers, and the Gelato ecosystem.
Partnership in Action Award
Recognises exceptional collaboration with Gelato and the wider network. Proof that the right partnership multiplies what is possible.
Operational Excellence Award
For measurable, documented improvements in production efficiency, error reduction, dispatch performance, or cost control. Excellence is earned.
Innovator Award
Awarded to the producer who introduced a new approach or capability that others in the network have adopted or aspired to reach.
Visionary Award
For the leader whose strategic decisions are shaping the direction of their business and the industry, not just where print is today.
