“The Mingay Annual Achievement Awards”, having a history of 70 years and aimed at the development of Australian consumer electric and electronics industry, are presented each year for the excellent products which contribute to the growth of the industry's retail stores. Its name is derived from Mr. Oswald Mingay who was an early pioneer of commercial radio in Australia and a major promoter of the home electric appliance industry in Australia.
This year, the awards were screened by more than 50 well respected retailers representing the consumer electric and electronics retail industry in all states of Australia, and our air conditioners won the Award in the “Best Cooling Product” category for four consecutive years.

Our air conditioner AST30R (30000BTU, Reverse cycle, Wall-mounted Split type) which was chosen for the “Best Cooling Product” Award for two consecutive years, was valued highly as the Australia's best selling air conditioner of the year reflecting its excellence in product quality, advertisement, sales promotion, store display, price and ease of use.
Our large air conditioners, along with AST24RSG (1998 & 1999), AST30RGA (2000), won the Award for four consecutive years.

By winning the “Best Cooling Product” Award for four consecutive years in Australia proves that not only our high level of technological strength and reliability, but also our No.1 market share was recognized.
We will continue our efforts of offering excellent products and service to our retailers and users in the future.
