LAS VEGAS — Redline Detection is in full gear, taking time out at AAPEX to unveil its new 3,000-square foot Redline TechAcademy Training Facility.
Alex Parker, executive vice president of Redline Detection, explains that “we’ve always been here for the technicians,” and the new state-of-the-art facility offers Redline one more way to help its end users.
“This new technology really requires new training,” Parker says of the now OEM-mandated, high-pressure diagnostic leak detectors. “(The facility) gives the people who we make our products for a place to come and train their people.”
The facility, located in Orange, Calif., is part of Redline Detection’s expanded global headquarters, which itself is triple the size of its previous facility. At the Redline TechAcademy, corporate partners and professional technicians can train on the Redline leak detectors, as well as take advantage of virtual training through Redline’s 10-foot teleconference and video screen. In-house sessions for 40 participants at a time also are available.
The training facility unveiling precedes Redline’s kickoff for the second Redline Rock Star Performance Award. The company reports the award will recognize a rising technician for his or her commitment to their family, community and industry. The winning technican will receive cash and prizes valued at $2,500 from Redline Detection. Nominations are accepted through Dec. 31 by visiting www.redlinetechacademy.com/nominate. The Redline Technical Advisory Board will choose the winner, who will be announced in January.
