Standard Motor Products (SMP) announced that it is the recipient of Waytek’s 2021 Product of the Year Award for SMP’s Trombetta CAN bus power splitters and control modules.
Each year, Waytek presents the Product of the Year Award to recognize the supplier that has distinguished itself by introducing an innovative product that delivers outstanding value. The award also recognizes the chosen supplier’s strong commitment to excellence and collaboration with Waytek.
The Trombetta CAN bus power splitter and control modules series was selected to win the award due to its high quality, utility and quick acceptance by Waytek customers. The series enables the breaking out of CAN signals using one connector, reducing the number of required plugs, wires and harnesses.
“Trombetta’s CAN bus power splitters and control modules are an innovative solution quickly embraced by our customers seeking an affordable, compact product for connecting multiple devices to a J1939 CAN bus network,” Waytek Chief Customer Officer Kevin Pung said. “We are privileged to work with a supplier like Trombetta who is committed to maintaining a strong relationship with us and providing valuable solutions to our customers.”
“We are so proud to have been awarded Waytek’s New Product of the Year Award,” added Mike Hassinger, Trombetta’s director of sales and marketing. “The introduction of our new splitter products has been an exciting venture, and we strongly believe these products will emerge as the industry standard. We’d like to thank Waytek for this tremendous honor and look to a strong continued partnership in the future.”

The Motor & Equipment Manufacturers Association (MEMA) recently recognized Sen. Todd Young as a 2022 recipient of the Joseph M. Magliochetti Industry Champion Award.
The award recognizes elected officials who have shown outstanding leadership on behalf of motor vehicle component suppliers.
Young, an Indiana Republican, received the award at the Grote Industries facility in Madison, Indiana. Grote is one of the world’s leading manufacturers and marketers of vehicle lighting and safety systems.
“It is a pleasure to host Senator Young at Grote Industries,” said Dominic Grote, president and CEO of Grote Industries. “His leadership continues to make a positive impact to the industry and the state of Indiana.”
MEMA President and CEO Bill Long presented the Joseph M. Magliochetti Industry Champion Award.
“Senator Young works diligently to promote our industry,” Long commented. “He is a true champion of the motor vehicle parts sector, and we are honored to recognize his efforts with this award.”
Young is a leading manufacturing advocate and bipartisan leader in the U.S. Senate. Young’s work carries great significance for the auto parts industry, which provides more than 907,000 direct jobs, making it the largest creator of manufacturing jobs nationwide and contributing two-thirds of the value of a new vehicle.
“I am grateful for this recognition and the thousands of Hoosiers who work in the motor vehicle parts sector,” Young said. “In the Senate, I will continue to fight for policies like USICA that support domestic manufacturing and encourage American innovation.”
At the instrumental Senate Finance and Commerce Committees, Young has done much to advance MEMA manufacturing and competitiveness priorities. For example, he has been a leader of efforts in 2021-2022 to pass the CHIPS Act, with its vital motor vehicle legacy chip provision for the industry to increase U.S. semiconductor chip production to alleviate stressed supply chains.
In fact, Young was the Republican leader of the broad U.S. Innovation and Competition Act (USICA) that passed the Senate in June 2021. The bill includes the CHIPS Act, enhances supply chain resiliency and increases funding for R&D partnerships with manufacturers. Young is working hard to get a final version of this bill passed through Congress as soon as possible in 2022.
“Senator Young is a true champion of Indiana motor vehicle parts manufacturers and their 84,000 employees,” said Long. “We are pleased to present MEMA’s 2022 Industry Champion Award to Senator Young.”
