Protek Automotive Products, Inc. designs, develops and manufactures electronic accessories principally to OEM's. Established in June of 2001 to meet the ever growing demand for products specially geared for the off-road and recreational automobile market. The company decided to make a strategic investment in LED (light emitting diode) technology in early 2002. This has produced products for local traffic industry and introduced new decorative lighting innovations.Protek Automotive Products Inc. humble beginnings can be traced to MME Products established in the 1980's in California, USA. Fulfilling the need for standardized electrical interfaces for Automobiles, RV's and Trailers; the company began supplying various electronic interfaces to US based companies. Two prominent customers are U-Haul/Draw-tite Inc. and Hidden Hitch, a Canada based company.The company expanded its manufacturing operations through the use of subcontractors in the Philippines, Hong Kong and Thailand in 1986. In 1999, the company decided to consolidate all its manufacturing operations in the Philippines because of the favorable investment incentives offered by the government. It was registered under the new name Protek Automotive Products Inc. to better reflect its product base.The company has been granted a number of patents for its innovative approach to automobile interfaces. It also is applying for patents on unique lighting applications using LED (light emitting diode) technology.To meet the USA standard for safety, it uses UL approved materials from its suppliers, such as adapters, wires, connectors, and others.Internally, Protek Automotive Products Inc. will embark on an ISO certification program to standardize its quality with the rest of the manufacturing community.
