Redline Detection Receives Three Prestigious Industry Awards; Announces Manufacturing Expansion

ORANGE, CA -- September , 2014: Redline Detection, the industry leader in OEM-approved automotive diagnostic leak detection equipment, today announced it has received three major industry awards, including Motor Magazine Top 20 Tools Award for the Redline Detection Easy Intake™, and two Professional Tool & Equipment News Innovation Awards for its HD PowerSmoke™ and Easy Intake™.

“This year has been pivotal for Redline as we continue to penetrate the automotive diagnostic market and also expand into the heavy duty trucking and performance markets”

In the last year, Redline Detection has received five industry awards, which has helped propel the Orange County-based company on a strong growth trajectory. The company recently announced an expansion to a larger manufacturing facility in the city of Orange to meet the increasing demands for its award-winning products. The new location will triple the size of the manufacturing and office headquarters and will include a state-of-the-art technical education facility.

“This year has been pivotal for Redline as we continue to penetrate the automotive diagnostic market and also expand into the heavy duty trucking and performance markets,” said Alex Parker, executive vice president for Redline Detection. “We are honored to receive these awards from two prestigious automotive publications, and we are aggressively developing new technologies that will allow us to continue to bring to market award-winning diagnostic equipment. Everything we develop at Redline Detection, from tools to technical education programs, is designed to help professional technicians work smarter, faster and more efficiently.”

Easy Intake™ is an inflatable block-off bladder with a pressurized vapor pass through that allows technicians to test entire intake or exhaust systems quickly and easily. Winner of both the Motor Magazine Top 20 Tools Award and the Professional Tool & Equipment News Innovation Award, Easy Intake™ can be used with any brand of diagnostic leak detector to block off the system with its inflatable bladder and pressurize the system with vapor through the pass through to accurately locate leaks in seconds. Easy Intake™ has swept the automotive industry since its release in November 2013 by winning nearly every major award.

HD PowerSmoke, also winner of the 2014 Professional Tool and Equipment News Innovation Award, replicates the full high-pressure load of a heavy duty engine so the entire system can be tested for faults with the engine safely off. It is the only diagnostic leak detector available today that can, in a single procedure, reliably detect any high-pressure leak, pinpoint its exact location, and precisely identify failing components, saving heavy duty truck operators and fleets valuable time and keeping trucks on the road.
