PFK Electronics wins Innovation Award at Automechanika Johannesburg

10 May 2013

PFK Electronics' Autowatch 740 WAB breathalyser immobiliser - a product designed, developed and manufactured in South Africa for local and global markets - has been awarded top honours for innovation at Automechanika Johannesburg's Innovation Awards 2013.

Hunter's HawkEye Elite Wheel Alignment System, developed in the US, won a Silver certificate while two other locally manufactured products tied for Bronze award status: Supreme Spring's Cobra Coil-Over Suspension Kit and Powertech's Willard IQ battery.

Six other products received certificates of commendation for their pioneering qualities:

Fuel Cop's Fuel Protection and Tracking Service.
Hella's Powerbeam 1000 work light.
Hunter's Road Force Touch Diagnostic Wheel Balancer as well its Quick-Check Alignment System.
KTR's JBT-1 Universal Tester for starter motors and alternators.
Tracker's SkyTrax Connected Car System.

The products were assessed by a jury comprising Dr Richard Beän of UNIDO; Christopher Crookes of Extra Dimensions; John Ellmore of the RMI; David Furlonger of the Financial Mail; Dr Norman Lamprecht of NAAMSA, Jeff Osborne of the RMI; and Roger Pitot of NAACAM.

All of the products will be on display until Saturday at the Innovation Awards stand in Hall 6 at Automechanika Johannesburg.
