The award was presented to Hunter Executive Vice President Nick Colarelli by Frost & Sullivan Programme Leader Stephen Spivey at the recent SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the world’s premier automotive speciality products trade show.

Stephen Spivey said: “Hunter Engineering’s recent advances in automotive service equipment design speeds inspection and service processes, reduces the risk of damage, simplifies equipment operation and employee training, enhances customer satisfaction, decreases equipment obsolescence, and makes service businesses more profitable.”

Each year, business research and consulting firm Frost & Sullivan presents an award to the company that has demonstrated uniqueness in developing a technology, which makes a significant impact on both its functionality and the added value to the customer. In particular, the award recognises the relevance of the innovation to the industry.

The Hunter HawkEye Elite TD features a number of completely new features to deliver an unrivalled measurement time of just 90 seconds. Its new integrated wheel clamp and targets can be attached to the wheels even easier and quicker than ever. What’s more, its new QuickComp system allows the essential runout compensation to be carried out with just one short and simple roll forward, dramatically cutting measurement times and helping to boost profitability further.

Paul Beaurain, managing director, Pro-Align, said:  “As shown by the latest award, Hunter continues to lead the market thanks to many industry firsts and a proud history of innovation.
