MMRK News Mile Marker International Unveils New Winch Technology
POMPANO BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mile Marker International, Inc. (OTCBB:MMRK), a specialty vehicle parts
supplier, today announced the introduction of its revolutionary new
winch line.
At the Annual Conference of the Performance Warehouse Association in
Phoenix, Arizona, this week, Mile Marker International Inc. previewed
its new high technology winch products for 2007 to be introduced at the
industry’s annual Specialty Equipment
Merchandising Association convention in Las Vegas in November. The
Company’s China engineers have developed the
first variable speed winch for off-road vehicles, combining the newest
microcomputer and cellular technology. The Company’s
research and development engineers have created a revolutionary winch
line for which Mile Marker has filed 27 different patents, including
mechanical, electronic and software. The most important of these
inventions is the software for the microcomputer on the new M.O.S.F.E.T.
control for the DC motors that operate these new winches.
Richard Aho, President and CEO of Mile Marker International, Inc., said: “In
all my years of introducing new products, this is the first time I’ve
ever received 100% positive feedback. All of our distributors
immediately realized that we had leaped forward from the traditional
electro-mechanical control of the 1960’s. This
development brings Mile Marker winches into the 21st
century and the forefront of the industry, as I first indicated at our
Annual Shareholders Meeting in May.”
Mile Marker International, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Mile Marker, Inc., is a manufacturer and distributor of specialized
vehicle parts primarily for the four-wheel drive recreational, utility
and military vehicle markets. Mile Marker's unique patented line of
hydraulic winches uses a vehicle's power steering pump as its source of
energy.
