DEWALT POWERSHIFT Honored in Fast Company’s 2024 Innovation By Design Awards

Congrats are in order! DEWALT recently announced that DEWALT POWERSHIFT has been named an honorable mention in Fast Company’s 2024 Innovation By Design Awards, which honor the designers and businesses solving the most curial problems of today and anticipating the pressing issues of tomorrow. As the only tool manufacturer represented in the program, DEWALT POWERSHIFT was recognized in the User Experience category honoring projects that consider a user’s journey, from beginning to end.

The DEWALT POWERSHIFT system, made up of six concrete tools, was designed to meet the critical needs of concrete professionals – power, runtime and ergonomics – allowing users to transition away from gas-powered equipment, without compromising efficiency and performance.

“As the next frontier of jobsite electrification, DEWALT POWERSHIFT optimizes the workflow of the concrete trade and concrete contractors by enhancing the user experience of demanding, high-intensity work on the jobsite,” said Frank Mannarino, president and general manager of DEWALT, Stanley Black & Decker. “Recognition from industry-leading voices like Fast Company validates our focus on user-first, end-to-end design as we continue to innovate for the jobsite of the future.”

The system streamlines the full concrete application through use of the same DEWALT POWERSHIFT 554 WH battery and high-speed charger across all tools. It is backed by DEWALT’s powerhouse portfolio of complimentary tools, accessories and technology.

Fast Company’s 2024 Innovation By Design Award is the second industry accolade DEWALT POWERSHIFT has received since its unveiling at World of Concrete in January.
