ABOUT AUTOADAPT > Autoadapt's past prizes and awards
In 1999 Autoadapt and Volvo Car Special Vehicles were honoured for
the best car adaptation solution for the mobility-impaired, with the Swedish
prize Handtaget, awarded by HRH Queen Silvia. The winning products were developed jointly by the two companies and were:

- an outward- swivelling, motor-operated car seat lift
- wider door opening
- floor-mounted brake and accelerator hand controls
- a raised armrest
- lighter servo-assisted steering

Autoadapt won the prize for best growth by a company with five to
two hundred and fifty employees, awarded by Business Region i Göteborg.

Here is the jury’s motivation:

With sensitivity towards the life situation and needs of the customer, Autoadapt
has developed products that achieve a dominant market position and a
successful internationalization. A clear vision of growth and a well-supported
business strategy enable the entire labor force to work towards the same
goal of high long-term growth.


In 2004, Autoadapt’s managing director Håkan Sandberg was ranked as
one the fifty-six best MDs in Sweden among large and medium-sized companies,
on a growth list drawn up by Ahrens Consultants.

"
These are the fifty-six best MDs in Sweden, in our view. The reason being that
they all run medium-sized or large companies on the growth list that we are
publishing for the eleventh successive year. Being mentioned here means,
apart from clear leadership and focus, an annual growth rate of at least 25%
for five years. As well as profitability.”

Thomas Ahrens.
