AUTON Motorized Systems Reaches Elusive Milestone (22/9/2004)

AUTON Motorized Systems, the world's oldest and largest manufacturer of TV lifts and other concealment devices, will begin its 50 Year Anniversary Celebration at the CEDIA Expo 2004 in Indianapolis, Indiana. The show, the largest of its kind, runs from September 10 through September 12.

Beginning in 1955 with the pioneering of motorized drapery systems, AUTON Motorized Systems has proven that foresight and innovation will stand the test of time. The recipient of numerous accolades and awards, AUTON Motorized Systems has introduced several key systems that have become the standard in the motorized lift industry.

AUTON Motorized Systems was the first manufacturer to use a rack and pinion lift system, replacing the old-fashioned scissor-type lift; was the first to implement a motorized swivel base; was the first to manufacture the ceiling drop-down system, and was the first to introduce its award-winning Automatic Shut-Off technology.

AUTON'S exclusive IN-VIS-O-TRAK system is already known around the world for its ease of use and practical application while the line leading Plasma Lift has become AUTON'S most popular product. Tens of thousands of AUTON products are installed throughout the world and have become the go-to automation product for architects, designers, builders, and fine furniture makers.

Even after fifty years in business, Virgil Walker, President of AUTON Motorized Systems, is actively pursuing the development of new products and technologies. During a recent interview, he said, "We intend to remain the world leader and that means we have to continue to develop new products and new technologies. Just because we've been doing this for a long time doesn't mean that we want to stop growing. AUTON will continue to redefine itself as long as we're in existence."

Since 1955, AUTON Motorized Systems has been manufacturing the world's finest rack and pinion systems used to hide, reveal, and automate various systems such as plasma panel lifts, television drop down units, adjustable work surfaces, motorized screens, speaker lifts, and customized furniture designs.

AUTON products are used throughout the world in residential, corporate, commercial, institutional, industrial, hotel, watercraft, and aircraft environments. AUTON clients include The White House, Hyatt Hotels, Sheraton Hotels, CBS Studios, MGM Studios, Walt Disney, Universal Studios. Additionally, AUTON products are used by many of the world's most recognizable celebrities.
