JohnDow Industries (JDI) announced it was recognized as a 2022 Motor Top 20 award winner for its new digital product showrooms featured on JohnDow.com.
The annual Motor Top 20 Awards recognize the most outstanding achievements in the automotive industry.
Now in its 31st year, Motor said it welcomed not only tools, equipment, and other products, but any innovation, new process, or solution from across the industry as entries for their annual Motor Top 20 Awards.
Winners were determined based on an online voting system open to the public and voted on by fellow industry professionals. Motor will present the awards at AAPEX Nov. 1-3 in Las Vegas, Nevada, according to JDI's news release.
“It’s thrilling to be recognized as a Motor Top 20 Award winner for a second time," said Robert Christy, president of JDI. "We pride ourselves on providing innovative solutions for our customers while also improving efficiency, which our digital product showrooms are a true testament to this.”
JDI said its four digital product showrooms feature product lines like Fuel Handling, Used Oil and Fluid Handling, Shop Equipment, and EuroVent Exhaust Extraction. The addition of these digital product showrooms to JohnDow’s website enhances product searchability and creates multiple ways for customers to discover product information more efficiently, according to JDI.
“We see the significant value our digital product showrooms bring to our customers,” said Heather King, director of marketing at JDI. “It’s exciting to receive this Motor Top 20 award while receiving recognition by our fellow industry colleagues as an innovative, forward-thinking automotive aftermarket company.”
