At AAPEX today, Redline Detection announced its new 3,000-square-foot Redline Tech Academy Training Facility in Orange, Calif. The new training facility is part of the company’s expanded global headquarters, which is triple the size of Redline’s previous facility. The expansion is a result of Redline’s steep growth in its core business, as well as its selection for two major OEM-mandatory/essential tool programs this year.
Commenting on Steve Forbes’ General Session message regarding the economy being in second gear, Alex Parker, executive vice president of Redline Detection, said, “As a manufacturer in the automotive aftermarket, we are in full gear. It has been an extremely successful year for Redline.”
Additionally, the company will offer space in the state-of-the-art training facility to its OEM partners and customers in the tool and equipment industry for technical training sessions on the many applications for Redline’s new OEM-mandated technology. Redline will also offer virtual trainings through its 10-foot teleconference and video screen and in-house sessions for 40 participants at a time in the Redline Tech Academy classroom.
“Often our partners in the tool industry hold regional training meetings, and they will now have this facility at their disposal,” said Parker. “And our customers with sizable sales force teams will also be using our facility to train their people on our innovative new OEM-mandated technology and use of our equipment.”
The company announced a call for nominations for the second Redline Rock Star Performance Award, which will recognize a rising technician for their commitment to their family, their community and their industry. The winning technician will receive cash and prizes valued at $2,500 and will be featured in press and advertising to promote their business.
