ANTHONY KITTEL HONOURED AT AAAEXPO
REDARC’s Managing Director was recognised as the auto electronics company picked up multiple wins
REDARC Managing Director, Anthony Kittel, was honoured with the Outstanding Service to Industry Award as part of the Australian Auto Aftermarket Excellence Awards.
For 26 years Anthony has guided REDARC Electronics, taking it from a small tin shed into a global powerhouse.
His tenure at REDARC is marked by dedication to innovation and technical advancement. Anthony is also a former AAAA Hall of Fame Winner.
“I would just like to thank the AAAA and all of the sponsors this evening, our suppliers to REDARC and our customers,” Anthony said when accepting the award.
“I’m grateful to be involved in such a passionate industry and to see the amount of change and opportunity that lays ahead for not only everyone in this room but for all of the young people in Australia and what a great opportunity we have to make exceptional products and supply the best customers in the industry.”
REDARC Electronics was also presented with the Excellence in Export award, the Most Innovative New Aftermarket Product (Electrical) award for the TVMS Rogue, and the Excellence in Business Sustainability award, a new category added this year.
“I am delighted that REDARC have been acknowledged on the national stage as a leader in the automotive aftermarket,” Anthony said.
“Receiving awards over multiple categories highlights REDARC’s commitment to investing in innovation and desire to become a truly global business, as well as REDARC’s absolute dedication to sustainable business.
“Winning both Excellence in Export and Most Innovative New Aftermarket Product for the TVMS Rogue are great rewards and acknowledgements for all the hard work our REDARC team have put in, a team, who continue to strive to be the best in the market with high quality, rugged products.”
These successes follow REDARC’s recent back-to-back awards for Manufacturing and Advanced Materials Exporter of the Year at the South Australian and National Export Awards.
Outside of product development and business growth, REDARC has put substantial efforts into its environmental practices.
A range of initiatives have been implemented which have resulted in notable reductions in carbon emissions, energy consumption, and waste generation, pushing REDARC further towards achieving its goal of being completely carbon neutral by 2025.
These initiatives include heavy investment in solar power, development of effective waste management processes, and a dedication to the development of sustainable product packaging.
“REDARC is committed to the preservation of the environment for the benefit of future generations,” Anthony said.
“Our team shares these values and are passionate in ensuring that REDARC is doing everything it can to reduce emissions, waste and ensure sustainable sourcing practices.
“Being acknowledged by our peers through the Excellence in Business Sustainability Award highlights the work that REDARC have done in becoming an environmental leader within the Automotive industry.”
