Pentair<\/a>\u2019s Thermal Building Solutions<\/a>, a provider of electrical heat-tracing systems, has launched the Pentair Open Innovation Awards<\/a> as part of the continued celebration of the 40th anniversary of its Raychem self-regulating technology.

They will also be able to attend the final Formula E race, taking place in the city at the end of June.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s self-regulating heat-tracing Raychem technology was first introduced in 1974 and led to the development of a wide range of innovative solutions for the industrial, commercial and residential building sectors. To mark this significant moment in the company\u2019s history, Pentair has launched the Open Innovation Awards to encourage its global customers to influence Pentair\u2019s wide range of thermal management products and services through collaboration. Any insight or improvement to make the existing company products, tools or software packages easier to use is a potential winner, regardless of size, complexity or application. Submissions will be shortlisted by the Pentair judging panel, who will select five ideas to be showcased on the competition website. The winning participant will be presented with the Pentair Open Innovation Award, alongside a monetary prize.<\/p>\n

\u201cRaychem has remained at the forefront of innovation in winter safety and comfort heating from its initial launch,\u201d comments Pele Myers, marketing manager at Pentair Thermal Building Solutions. \u201cWe are very proud of this achievement and wanted to celebrate Raychem\u2019s heritage in a special way. The Open Innovation Awards campaign underlines our commitment to our customers and gives us an opportunity to work alongside our partners, offering them a platform for exchanging suggestions and insights. We want to listen to the people we work with, reward them for their ideas, and build a strong future with our partners, customers and Raychem fans around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2014, Raychem celebrated 40 years of self-regulating heat-tracing technology. To this day, the company is still recognized as a manufacturer of innovative and energy-efficient heat-tracing and control and monitoring solutions with high-quality and reliability in mind.<\/p>\n

Pentair kicked off its Raychem\u2019s 40th anniversary celebrations with the Pole Position contest in 2014, inspired by the Formula E electric racing championship.
