The Aftermarket Warehouse Distributors Association (AWDA), a community of the Auto Care Association, has announced the addition of its newest officers and governors immediately following the conclusion of AAPEX 2022 in Las Vegas.

Effective Nov. 4, the new AWDA chair is Ashlee Arnold, vice president at Arnold Oil Company of Austin, Texas. Arnold succeeds Ryan Samuels of Samuels Inc., who successfully led the association the previous two years and remains on the board as immediate past chair.

Including Arnold, AWDA’s new officers are:

  • Chair – Ashlee Arnold, Arnold Oil Company of Austin
  • Vice chair – Dan Hanson Jr., Hanson Distributing Company
  • Secretary – Chase Baxley, The Parts House (Florida)

“In its 75 years, AWDA has had the benefit of strong leadership to guide this proud organization through good and not so good times,” said Ted Hughes, executive director of the AWDA. “These leaders represent the next generation of leadership for this great organization, and I am proud to work with them.”

AWDA’s new governors-at-large are:

  • Ryan Bickle, Warehouse Inc. / S&W Supply
  • Joshua Futerman, Hahn Automotive Warehouse Inc.
  • Mike Harris, FleetPride
  • Lanny Martindale, 4M Parts Warehouse
  • Shawn Senior, Eastern Warehouse Distributors Inc.

“AWDA’s nominating committee insists that, if asked, any incoming governor must be qualified to serve as chairman,” said Hughes. “The result of this long-standing tradition is a consistent supply of high-quality board members who are interested, engaged and committed to traditional distribution, the aftermarket and their association.”

In the coming year, the AWDA board will support and represent traditional distribution within the Auto Care Association and the aftermarket industry at large. AWDA also will continue its long tradition of supporting industry education through significant donations to the University of the Aftermarket Foundation.

AWDA represents the top distributors and manufacturers of motor vehicle parts nationwide. The 75-year-old organization is a key segment of the Auto Care Association.

      Worldpac Celebrates Opening of New Warehouse in Puerto Rico
      By Counterman
      Worldpac, a wholly owned subsidiary of Advance Auto Parts, celebrated the grand opening of its newest warehouse on Feb. 22 in Hatillo, Puerto Rico.
      Members of the local community, including Hatillo Mayor Carlos Román Román, attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
      Located at H-1 Metro Plaza Hatillo, Carr No. 2 KM 87.5 Marginal, Worldpac’s Hatillo warehouse measures more than 30,000 square feet and has the capacity to house more than 400,000 original-equipment and premium-brand automotive parts, serving most vehicle makes and models on the road in Puerto Rico.
      The warehouse will support the businesses of local independently owned auto parts stores throughout the western region, with parts deliveries for most customers taking place multiple times per day, six days a week. 
      “We are very proud to open our second Worldpac warehouse in Hatillo, bringing independent businesses in the western region greater access to original equipment and leading name brand auto parts,” said David Heine, Worldpac executive vice president of sales. “With two locations in Puerto Rico, we can now offer far greater inventory coverage across the island to better serve our customers. We’re also very pleased to employ members of the community at our new facility and we look forward to continued investment in Puerto Rico for years to come.”
      Worldpac employs 10 team members at its new facility, with many living locally in Hatillo and surrounding communities. The company also supports independent auto parts stores through its warehouse in Bayamon, which opened in 2010.
