About EBM Design, Inc...
"Who would believe that a dropped valve seat on a '68 Corvair would
give birth to the EZcarlift?"
The man behind the design of the
EZcarlift is mechanical engineer and entrepeneur Boytcho Manev.
Born in Bulgaria in 1949, Boytcho earned his engineering degree in
Germany, after which he went to work for
world-renowned manufacturer Wacker Corporation in Munich where he
designed the Wacker Vibratory Plate - more than 30 years later
Boytcho's design continues to be the world's top selling vibratory
unit.
In 1978 Wacker
transferred Boytcho to the U.S. as part of it's new product
development team for the American market. Continued business
success and new personal interests followed, and Boytcho's remained
in the states
ever since - he currently resides in central California.
In 1993, Boytcho
founded his own engineering firm, EBM Design, Inc. EBM specializes in design and
development of one-of-a-kind and first-of-its-kind type products.
Among
its other accomplishments, EBM has produced a seismic gas valve that
automatically stops the flow of natural gas in the event of an
earthquake.
The development
of the
EZcarlift was the result of Boytcho's passion for automobiles.
Seeing a need for a consumer car lift, he set out to design a
lift specifically for home garage use - one that was strong,
safe, easy to use, compact, and affordable. The design process
covered 4 years and included 5 prototypes before resulting in the
current product.
Throughout his career, Boytcho has had one predominant engineering
philosophy for every project - simplicity...Determine a need, design
a solution that works, then make it safe & easy to use.
The
EZcarlift is a testament to his philosophy.
