Akebono announced the winners of a trivia contest it held at AAPEX 2021. The Akebono team presented visitors to its AAPEX booth with trivia questions testing their knowledge of Akebono. The contest was designed to bring awareness to the company’s 40+ years of OEM, OES and Aftermarket expertise in North America, and even challenge our closest followers, said Akebono.
“A special thanks for all that visited our AAPEX 2021 booth and participated in our contest, it was great to be back in-person and congratulations to all of the winners with prizes awarded totaling $2,000! Some of the questions were obviously true, but we were being a bit tricky, because even the more obscure questions were also true!” said Edward Gerhardt, marketing and data service manager, Akebono Brake Corporation. “The contest was a great way for us to engage with the AAPEX attendees, and give everyone an opportunity to learn something about our past, present and future”.
