SPARTA, N.J. — Testo Inc. recently presented a $10,000 check to Emidio Monteiro, owner of Eurotech Climate Systems LLC, Pawtucket, Rhode Island, as the winner of Testo’s Fall 2014 Race Car Trip Sweepstakes. Monteiro had the choice of a cash prize or a race car trip weekend and opted for the cash prize.

Monteiro was selected in a random drawing from among more than a thousand participants. Roger Mavrides, Testo HVACR product manager, was on hand for the presentation of the check. “It was my pleasure to be able to see the delight of Mr. Monteiro when he received the check,” said Mavrides. “It gives me great joy to know that an active user of Testo instruments, who has more than 40 years of experience in the heating, air conditioning, installation, and repair service will benefit from this sweepstakes.”

Monteiro came to the U.S. in the 1980s from Portugal, where he learned refrigeration. He then got his master electrician’s license and set up his own HVACR business.

“I bought my first Testo 523 refrigeration manifold 15 years ago, and it still works,” Monteiro said. “After all these years of buying Testo instruments, winning the sweepstakes was a bonus for me and will allow me to grow my business further.”
