It’s 50 years since the Danfoss VLT® 5 Drive was launched,

It’s 50 years since the Danfoss VLT® 5 Drive was launched, being the Worlds’ first mass-produced AC Drive and 25 years since VACON® was founded, originally under the name of Vaasa Control Ltd. To celebrate this remarkable double event and to highlight the reliability and longevity of its products, Danfoss is running a competition to find the oldest VLT® and VACON® drives still in service.

The Company owning the oldest working product of each brand entered in the competition, will be awarded a £500 gift voucher for a popular on-line retailer. Awards will also be made for the oldest drives in specific product ranges such as VLT® 3000, 5000, 6000 and VACON® V10, CX, NXL, etc. to find the oldest in each class! Entries must be submitted by the 4th March, 2019 and the winners will be announced on the 18th March, 2019.
