The much-heralded inventor of unique fire-extinguishing balls from Thailand is adding another award to his trophy case, this time from a management consultant in France.
Phanawatnan Kaimart, managing director for Siam Safety Premier Co. in Pattaya, was named the 2010 winner of the Platinum Technology for Quality and Trade Name award from Otherways Management (OMAC) of Paris. Phanawatnan, who won the prestigious World Genius award in 2007, will be presented his latest prize in Geneva Dec. 20.
Phanawatnan Kaimart, inventor of the fire-extinguishing ball has received another prestigious award.
Siam Safety’s Elide Fire Extinguishing Ball is a sphere-shaped fire extinguisher that when tossed into a fire, activates within three seconds to disperse flame-extinguishing chemicals. It also sounds a loud noise as a fire alarm.
Phanawatnan called the award an honor for himself, his family and Thailand.
He said OMAC executives said the invention was selected for the prize based on surveys of media, business and diplomatic sources. Presentation of the award, to be attended by dignitaries from 40 countries, is a testament to the product’s quality, he said.
