It was picked among thousands of products by a panel of international judges.

About 30 judges from 22 countries carefully reviewed and evaluated nearly 3,000 product entries at the SEMA Show before selecting the products that they felt would appeal most to consumers in their home countries. The Mirka AROS-B was selected for the award by Speed and Sound Magazine from South Africa.

Mats Bystedt, portfolio manager for power tools at Mirka, is delighted to find out about the award.

“We are extremely honored; it shows that the countless hours we’ve spent trying to understand the needs of the operators in the automotive industry have paid off,” said Bystedt. “To meet the high expectations of professional users is not an easy task.”
