SlavikWith profound sadness, Intellitec Products announced the passing of its founder, William Slavik Sr., who died on Jan. 10, at the age of 84. The company said its thoughts and prayers are with the Slavik family and all of Bill’s friends and colleagues throughout the world.
“Bill founded Intellitec nearly 50 years ago and led the company until his retirement around 2006. A phenomenal electrical engineer, William Slavik Sr. was the inventor of many of our products that we still sell widely. Our entire Intellitec family owes Bill a debt of gratitude for the business we enjoy today,” said Patrick J. O’Neill, chairman and CEO of Intellitec Products. “Bill was extremely well respected throughout our industry and a good friend to all.”
“Bill revolutionized the electrical and control systems of RVs, ambulances, trucks and specialty vehicles. From battery disconnects with his patented latching mechanism that has been used on millions of vehicles, to the introduction of energy management and multiplexing systems, Bill’s designs forever changed the vehicle market,” said Ned Schiff, president of Intellitec Products.
“Today at Intellitec, we continue Bill’s legacy and business vision of understanding our customers challenges and developing solutions through the intelligent use of technology,” Schiff continued. “We are deeply grateful to Bill for all of his contributions.”
