Claas has presented the automotive supplier, Hella, with their Supplier of the Year award in the Innovation category, in a ceremony that had to take place online this year. 

The Hella team receive their prize

In a statement Claas said the presentation acknowledged " . . the high degree of transparency and initiative in the development of new lighting and electronic solutions." 

For several decades now, Hella and Claas have been working together to develop tailor-made lighting and electronic components, from prototype to pre-series to series production.

"I would like to thank the entire Hella team for their great commitment to serving this important customer for us," said Kristian Vuksan, director global sales agricultural, turf and utility machines during the event. "This award is a great honour for us and validates our ability to transfer innovative technologies from the automotive sector to our heavy duty customer segment. This motivates us even more to continue to develop and implement design-driven solutions in a modular manner in conjunction with smaller production volumes."

In the near future, Hella say they will be launching developments such as matrix illumination for the agricultural and construction machinery sector, as well as smart work lamps.
