This year, eight equipment manufacturers competed in real-world test exercises designed and developed by the CPM staff and judged by a panel of concrete polishing contractors. Husqvarna’s grinders competed in the “Grind Off’ competition for Electric Large (32" and larger) and Electric Mid-size (27" and smaller) grinders. The grinders were judged based on speed, gloss level and aggregate consistency reached within a 4 hour period. Husqvarna’s PG 820 won the Electric Large 32" group and the PG 680 won the Electric Mid-size 27" group! In their categories, each piece of equipment out polished the competition with the fastest grind, most exposed aggregate and an average gloss level in the mid 80’s.
In addition to the grinder wins, for the second year in a row Husqvarna took Best in Show honors!
“It is a great privilege to be given these honors and to continue building our reputation in the concrete polishing industry. Husqvarna strives to develop products that meet the needs of contractors and winning these awards affirms that we are accomplishing what we set out to do.” said Jamie Krueger, Product Manager – Surface Preparation.
