The Top 10 Distribution Stories of 2013

The editorial staff of aftermarketNews is proud to present the 10th annual AMN Year in Review, sponsored this year by Federated Auto Parts.

Delivered exclusively this week to AMN subscribers in four special
afternoon e-newsletters, we will take a look back at what you, our loyal
readers, found to be the most compelling and important news reports,
interviews and articles of the past year. Top 10 lists have been
compiled for four of the most popular news categories on AMN: Executive
Interviews, Personnel News, Manufacturing and Distribution.
Items selected for the 2013 Year in Review series are judged purely on
viewership, as reported by Google Analytics. You and your mouse clicks
do the talking – every unique click equals a vote. The cut-off date for
consideration was Nov. 1, 2013.

We sincerely thank our sponsor, Federated Auto Parts, for its support of this annual industry review.
Today we present, the Top 10 Distribution Stories of 2013.
