Recommended Posts

Standard Motor Products (SMP) announced that it is the recipient of the 2021 Spirit of NAPA trophy, presented at NAPA Auto Parts’ Vendor Summit and Supplier Awards Banquet on May 25.

At the awards banquet, NAPA recognizes top suppliers for their contributions in categories such as quality, innovation, cataloging and sales leadership. The highlight of the evening is the presentation of the prestigious Spirit of NAPA trophy, NAPA’s top honor.

This year, SMP was honored as the 2021 Spirit of NAPA award winner, as a testament to SMP’s significant impact on NAPA’s success.

“The Spirit of NAPA encompasses market leadership, outstanding products and service, and a firm commitment to winning the right way with integrity,” said Jamie Walton, NAPA’s executive vice president & chief merchandising officer. “Equally as impressive was the fact that despite a sales increase beyond expectations and global supply challenges, this supplier maintained a fill rate well above the Industry.”

“We are delighted and humbled to have been awarded NAPA’s top honor,” SMP CEO and President Eric Sills said. “We believe that the partnership between NAPA and SMP creates a powerful combination, one which has yielded tremendous success in the marketplace. “We recognize that to be successful, we need to do just about everything right, so I thank both NAPA and the thousands of SMP employees who contributed to this win.”

      AMSOIL has added a new 0W-40 viscosity to its line of OE 100% synthetic motor oil to better meet the emerging demands of advanced automotive technology.
      The new OE 0W-40 is primarily for newer RAM HD trucks equipped with the 6.4-liter Hemi engine, AMSOIL noted.

      AMSOIL OE 100% synthetic motor oil is specifically designed to deliver maximum wear protection, fuel economy and emissions control for the longer drain intervals recommended by OE manufacturers, according to the company.

      The motor oil provides 47% more wear protection than required by the GM dexos 1 Gen 2 specification, based on independent testing cited by AMSOIL.
      “AMSOIL OE 100% synthetic motor oil has a 100% synthetic, pure chemical structure engineered to remove harmful contaminants and provide long-lasting engine protection and performance,” AMSOIL said in a news release. “It features an advanced detergent and dispersant additive package designed to protect against sludge and deposits to deliver maximum engine cleanliness.”

      Eric Johnson, president and managing partner of Arnold Motor Supply/The Merrill Company, is visiting Northwood University this week to meet with students enrolled in automotive aftermarket courses. 
      “Efforts to encourage and educate students are so valuable because not only are we helping individuals, we’re also helping to shape the future of our industry,” Johnson said. “Preparing students with the mindset, skills and knowledge they need to be successful contributes to the overall growth and innovation of the aftermarket.” 
      Johnson, a member of the Aftermarket Auto Parts Alliance board of directors, spoke with students enrolled in aftermarket category management, aftermarket management research and aftermarket manufacturing management, among others.
      “As a University of the Aftermarket graduate and supporter of Northwood University, Eric wanted to invest in the future leaders of the industry by sharing several real-life cases relevant to the aftermarket classes,” said Dr. Thomas Litzinger, executive director of the University of the Aftermarket/Northwood aftermarket industry chair.
      Students enrolled in aftermarket category management are prepared for the role of product manager through inventory-modeling techniques and data analysis. The aftermarket manufacturing management course explores the role manufacturers play in the aftermarket and what business functions they employ.
      Aftermarket management research teaches students research techniques to form a hypothesis and sample the data to reject or not reject the hypothesis.
      “Our students are eager to engage with industry leaders and learn from their expertise,” said James O’Dell, assistant director of aftermarket education. “This real-life industry experience sets Northwood students apart, makes them uniquely qualified and prepares them for success in their career.”
