OTC unveils tool inventors website

Got an original idea for a workshop tool? OTC, an SPX brand, has launched a new Inventors website developed to attract tool inventors and provide a means to submit new tool inventions for review. The site – www.otctools.com/inventionsubmission.php – simplifies the communication between automotive tool inventors and OTC engineers to stimulate innovative ideas and develop new tools for the automotive industry.

“At SPX, we have a strategic initiative to develop our ‘Bright Tool Ideas’ resources,” said Davin Alan, product manager of marketing communications at SPX Service Solutions. “In the case of OTC, this initiative is about continuing to develop the brand’s strong inventor community base and accessing outside resources to rapidly bring ideas to market. Some of our best tool innovation ideas come from inventors and they could earn cash awards or royalties for their inventions and ideas.”

 The new Inventors website will provide an expanded resource where inventors can go to offer solutions to repair challenges. Additionally, the website will give technicians a direct link to OTC where they can provide open feedback on solutions to tool and equipment problems they may be experiencing; an idea for a tool that doesn’t exist; or a way to improve an existing tool.
