Atlas Copco’s (STO:ATCOA)(STO:ATCOB) most prestigious awards
this year recognize customer-centered marketing of the
groundbreaking GA VSD+ compressor, and the development of the
innovative Seti-Tec line of advanced drilling units used
by aerospace industry manufacturers.
The Peter Wallenberg Award is presented to Bert Derom, Vice
President Marketing Industrial Air, and Koen Lauwers, Vice
President for Rough Vacuum, at Atlas Copco Compressor Technique for
the marketing of the breakthrough GA VSD+compressor. The compressor
uses only about half the energy of traditional fixed-speed
compressors, resulting in great savings for customers. They raised
global awareness of its many advantages to customers, distributors
and colleagues.
“Both the marketing of the VSD+ compressor, which benefits all
types of industries, and the development of the advanced drilling
units demonstrate our focus on improving productivity for
customers,” said Ronnie Leten, President and CEO of the Atlas Copco
Group. “We are convinced that our constant focus on developing
innovative products and service is a win-win for both us and
customers.”
The John Munck Award for technical innovations goes to Sebastien
Pereira, General Manager at Seti-Tec, and his team, part of
Industrial Technique, in France. The team developed a line of
advanced drilling units that are now widely used by the aerospace
industry. The patented, compact design greatly enhances operator
comfort and accessibility, and uses fewer parts which makes tool
maintenance easy.
The Peter Wallenberg Marketing and Sales Award -- named after
Atlas Copco’s Honorary Chairman, who passed away in January, 2015
-- recognizes the most innovative successfully implemented method
in the field of sales and marketing. The award was established in
1996. The John Munck Award, established 1991, is presented each
year to a product developer or designer, or a team, for outstanding
contributions to the overall quality of an Atlas Copco product. The
awards will be presented to the winners at the Annual General
Meeting on April 28, 2015.
