Congratulations to the winners of the PTEN 2021 Innovation Awards! These 23 companies are being recognized for their recent product innovations that make vehicle diagnosis and repair easier and more efficient, as well as make shops more productive.
This year, we received a total of 137 product nominations. Each product is evaluated by our esteemed third-party judging panel of industry experts. PTEN's Innovation Awards were established in 1999 to honor companies that innovate with new tools and equipment to help auto repair professionals excel at their job.
Make sure to join the PTEN staff on the show floor of the AAPEX Show in Las Vegas this November where we will honor the Innovation Awards winners.
