The GHS VSD+ Vacuum from Atlas Copco was recognized this week for innovative contributions in product development by Plant Engineering with the silver award in the magazine’s 2015 Product of the Year competition.
The 28th annual Plant Engineering Product of the Year competition is a celebration of all that is new and innovative in product development. It is also a time to evaluate your own needs within the plant to see what areas of your operation need improvement. Chances are, the solutions are among the winning products.
You can read all about the GHS VSD+ in a special section of the magazine’s website; award-winning products like this vacuum compressor are also featured in the April 2016 print edition.
