    Recognizing Excellence in Sustainability

    GMA is pleased to announce the winners of the 2026 GMA Sustainability Awards, recognizing customers and partners who are making a measurable contribution to more sustainable abrasive blasting and waterjet cutting practices.

    Now in their second year, the Awards recognize practical action across the industry — from returning used garnet for recycling and reducing waste, to improving the efficiency of garnet use and embedding more sustainable practices into day-to-day operations.

    Through these efforts, our 2026 award recipients are helping extend the lifecycle of garnet and demonstrating how practical changes can deliver meaningful environmental and operational outcomes.

    Congratulations to our 2026 winners
