Arnold Motor Supply and the Auto Value Parts Stores of Nebraska and Iowa recently recognized Clayton Kannas, district sales manager for WIX Filters, as the 2014 Manufacturer’s Rep of the Year for The Arnold Group. This award recognizes the top manufacturer’s representative calling on the Arnold Group. The award was presented to Kannas at the company’s VIP golf outing held Sept. 10 in Spencer, Iowa.

Kannas, who hails from Altoona, Iowa, has been involved in the automotive aftermarket for his whole life. His parents had a parts store in Corning, Iowa. According to Brad Edwardson, sales manager for The Arnold Group, “Clayton goes wherever he is needed and he is always looking for ways to improve market penetration. He is one of the few manufacturer’s representatives who is willing to call on our stores and make sure that we have the right products and knowledge to be successful.”
