Duluth, GA, November 26, 2003 – For the third year in a row, DVT has won First Place in the prestigious “Readers’ Choice” award from Control Design magazine. The magazine sends surveys to over 12,000 readers each year, asking them to rank the top companies in 48 different hardware and software categories. The vote is considered an “unaided survey” since participants do not choose from a list of companies but instead write in who they think the top company is.In the machine vision category, DVT garnered 34 percent of the vote, compared to the second place company, Cognex, which received 19 percent. Omron Electronics and Keyence received 8 percent and 6 percent respectively.
The margin between the first and second place companies has increased each year. “What’s particularly gratifying about this award is that there are many fine machine vision companies out there but, from all those companies, a high percentage of the survey participants chose DVT as the number one company,” said Bob Steinke, Chairman and CEO of DVT. “We are certainly blessed to receive such an honor.”DVT Director of Marketing Bob Settle said the award means the DVT message is getting out. “This lets us know that people are better understanding our belief in Servant Leadership, which is the foundation of our support model of free training, free online diagnostic support, and free software,” he said.
DVT’s corporate vision is based on the concept of Servant Leadership, which means putting the needs of others ahead of our own. DVT puts the needs of its customers and partners ahead of its own needs. For more information contact DVT Corporation at (770) 814-7920 or visit DVT online at www.dvtsensors.com .
