AutoZone recognized 16 of its top suppliers at its June 7 Vendor Summit.

The awards honor companies that provided exceptional performance and demonstrated a strong commitment to customer satisfaction during the past year.

AutoZone named BBB its 2023 Vendor of the Year, the company’s most significant vendor recognition.

A leading sustainable manufacturer of automotive aftermarket parts, BBB was recognized for its dedication to supporting major AutoZone initiatives to increase sales, reduce inventory and improve the customer experience.

“As an AutoZone partner, BBB also provided best-in-class catalog content, increased first-to-market parts availability and offered training support to ensure AutoZoners provided trustworthy advice to customers,” AutoZone explained in a news release. “BBB demonstrated a relentless focus on providing the products and support needed to achieve mutual growth and success in a constantly evolving retail environment.”

Six vendors were selected for the AutoZone Extra Miler award:

  • APEX Tool Group
  • Cloyes
  • ITW
  • Old World
  • Sunsong
  • UPOL

The Extra Miler award honors those vendors who are “unfazed by obstacles, go above and beyond the call of duty, exceed expectations and consistently do more than expected.”

Bosch was honored with the International Vendor of Excellence Award for its continued support, leadership and best-in-class category management around the globe.

Eight vendors received AutoZone WITTDTJR (“What It Takes to Do the Job Right”) awards:

  • Energizer
  • Gold Phoenix
  • PLZ
  • Prestone Products
  • Reach Cooling
  • Standard Motor Parts
  • Sylvania and
  • XMY Auto Parts

These vendors partnered with AutoZone to consistently meet the needs of AutoZone’s DIY customers and professional technicians.

“Our 2023 Vendor of the Year, BBB, and all of our Vendor Summit award winners exemplified our pledge and values. They were collaborative, innovative and actively contributed to AutoZone’s success,” said Bill Hackney, senior vice president, merchandising. “In an ever-changing environment of rapid growth and increased demand, these vendors executed at the highest levels.”

      By Counterman
      MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers recently recognized Dana Incorporated with its Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Award. 
      The association presented the DEI Award to Dana at AAPEX in Las Vegas.
      “We are honored to accept this prestigious award and thank MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers for recognizing Dana’s efforts in creating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment,” said Vanesa Badillo, Dana’s senior manager, talent development, who accepted the award on behalf of Dana. “At Dana, we continuously build upon our diverse strengths. Dana’s DEI strategy aims to cultivate a strong and inclusive culture where all our people have opportunities to thrive and reach their full potential.”
      To be considered for the MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers DEI award, a company must contribute to and operate in the automotive and commercial-vehicle aftermarket; have an existing internal DEI strategy and objectives in place that support the core values of DEI; have made an achievement either internally or externally to advance DEI in the aftermarket; and must be an established company of good repute and sound financial condition. 
      “At Dana, we are proud to have leaders who challenge the status quo and address barriers to inclusion by reviewing and adjusting various employee and business policies and processes, such as publishing a supplier diversity policy,” Badillo added. “Dana focuses on accountability for inclusive behaviors at all levels of the organization.  This leading phase of Dana’s DEI journey has made clear governance guidelines that establish DEI objectives and address barriers to inclusion through employee management processes.”
      The MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers DEI award recognizes the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion in the automotive aftermarket and celebrates those individuals and organizations who champion the spirit of DEI in their organizations and communities. 
      MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers created the DEI Awards in 2021. Each year at AAPEX, MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers recognizes one individual from a member company and one member company who embody and advance the core values of diversity, equity and inclusion.

The operations team is enhancing Dayco’s warehouse-management system by creating a new safety-stock policy as well as consolidating different orders to the same shipment, reducing complexity, costs and order cycle times, according to the company.
      “We have the right team in place to help us re-establish our position in the market,” said Tom Tecklenburg, VP of Dayco N.A. Aftermarket. “Our key focus this past year has been on improving our fill rates and analyzing any possible gaps in our core product offerings – belts, kits and components. The Top Movers initiative and new coverage we’re introducing build on a commitment to our customers to help drive sales among the shops they serve, and to ensure top movers are always available so we can deliver the right part at the right time.”
      The initiative also includes bringing to market 140 new part numbers during Q1 2024. Dayco’s line of light-duty serpentine-belt kits will grow by eight part numbers, for a total of 105 SKUs, focusing on high-VIO applications including popular last-mile delivery fleet vehicles.
      Timing-chain kits will increase by nine SKUs. Serpentine belts will increase by 4 SKUs for an increase in VIO coverage of 2.3 million.
      In addition, Dayco is launching more than 40 SKUs for tensioners, water pumps and pulley to enhance coverage for fast-moving applications.
      Hoses also continue to see line adjustments, with 80 SKUs launching in 2023 for an additional 54 million in VIO coverage. The line includes two new branched hoses for super-duty Ford diesel trucks.
      For additional details, distributors should contact their Dayco sales representative.
