EVS Ltd. has won several important industry awards over the years for our innovation in ambulance seating. We are a three-time winner of the EMS World Innovation Award, which recognizes the industry’s top new or significantly improved innovative products each year. These products are evaluated at the EMS World Expo by Top Innovations Award Judge Mike Smith, BS, MICP. Smith meets one-on-one with semi-finalists at the expo to examine and test each product firsthand, as well as ask questions, before making a determination. Of the semi-finalists, only 20 are designated with the prestigious Innovation Award by EMSWorld, the foremost publication for the emergency medical services market. This means that EVS Ltd. products stood out from other EMS products, for both increasing the safety of EMS professionals and transforming the delivery of emergency medical care. We are proud of our products that meet this distinction.
