Hunter Highlights Vol. 105

Automechanika 2004 in Frankfurt, Germany, the leading European automotive aftermarket trade fair, was the setting for some important benchmarks in the continuing expansion of Hunter’s international product lines.

A historical meeting took place at the Hunter booth during the trade fair. Visiting DaimlerChrysler AG executives presented Hunter President Stephen Brauer with documents stating the worldwide approval of Hunter’s DSP600-equipped HTA-MB-R alignment system. This marked the first digital imaging alignment system to be approved by DaimlerChrysler AG for the worldwide service of Mercedes-Benz automobiles.

The 2004 Automechanika show also provided an ideal opportunity for Hunter to introduce its new GSP9600 CRT wheel balancer to the European market. While CRT interface balancers are not uncommon in Europe, Hunter’s GSP9600 borrows innovations from the advanced GSP9700 Road Force Measurement® System to offer speed, accuracy and ease-of-use unmatched by European competitors.

In addition to European industry buyers, the Hunter booth entertained guests from throughout the world. Hunter distributors from 21 European countries were joined by guests from as far away as New Zealand and Argentina.
