Akebono has announced the winners of its “Guess The Number” contest held at AAPEX 2019 in Las Vegas.

At its “The Hardware You Need, with the Brakes You Trust” themed booth on the show floor, eligible participants had the opportunity to guess the total number of Akebono’s 301 stainless steel pieces placed inside a transparent container.

Abutment clip hardware is now available for all popular applications across all three of the company’s brands—ProACT, EURO and Akebono Performance. The total number of SKUs is 400.

Congratulations to all the winners with prizes totalling almost $3,000!  The actual number of pieces was 4,644 pieces and we had an amazingly close guess of 4,640!” said Edward Gerhardt Marketing and Data Service Manager, Akebono Brake Corporation. “The contest was a huge success, the sales team and customers had a lot of fun with it, interacting and bringing awareness to the changes of our product!  A special thanks to my team, that helped me count the clips and assemble the display.”
