The Excellence in Design awards are presented annually. Selection is based on the following criteria: innovation, simplicity, strong functionality for the user, environmental footprint and cost savings. Winners receive either Gold, Silver or Bronze awards in each of 10 categories. The UlteMAX motor received a Silver Award in the HVAC category.
“We are honored to receive this designation from appliance DESIGN and excited to bring this game-changing motor to the marketplace,” said Howard Richardson, business leader, Regal. “The UlteMAX technology is the proud culmination of innovative engineering that extends beyond obvious benefits for our customers.”
