LAS VEGAS — With most everyone in the industry getting back to work after the successful and productive Automotive Aftermarket Industry Week, there is still some important news from the show shuffling in.
Three aftermarket manufacturers took top honors in the 2004 Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo (AAPEX) New Packaging Awards, held Nov. 2 during the annual trade event sponsored by the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association (AAIA) and the Motor & Equipment Manufacturers Association (MEMA).
The winners were:
Allied International, Goodyear Racing 14 Piece Air Wrench Set;
The Casite Co., Casite EZ Connect – Tire Repair – Emergency Tire Inflator; and
Federal-Mogul Corp., Champion Spark Plug Family.
Faculty and administrators from Northwood University judged this year’s awards and commented that this was the strongest group of entries in the history of the competition. New this year, the new packaging awards were an integral part of the improved New Products Showcase which was prominent in the lobby of the Sands Expo Center, where AAPEX took place. Nearly 600 new products were on display for the nearly 120,000 people that attended AAPEX and the SEMA Show.
