LAS VEGAS, Nev. — Delphi announced earlier this month at AAPEX that it has selected Kitchin & Sons as the Delphi Sales Agency of the Year. The Indiana-based agency has won the honor for the second time, in recognition of its performance in customer service and program participation.

“Kitchin & Sons has a long history with Delphi, and throughout that time their sales team has continually exceeded our goals and expectations in sales, promotional activity and training,” said Tim Wheeler, North America sales director, Delphi Product & Service Solutions.

“Most importantly, our customers value the work they do in the field, helping to grow their business with Delphi’s vast product portfolio. We’re grateful to have such a premiere sales group as part of the Delphi team. Their work ethic and dedication has led to great success.”

Throughout 2008, Delphi’s 11 United States and Canadian sales agencies have been competing for the number one spot. The agencies were ranked on a number of criteria, including increasing market penetration, customer satisfaction and program/promotion support.

“Our agency’s philosophy is simple: to provide the best service to our customers and to provide the best representation for our manufacturers. This award is an acknowledgement of the hard work of our whole team,” said Tom Kitchin, president, Kitchin & Sons. “Delphi continues to provide the necessary parts and tools, allowing our industry to remain competitive in this fast-paced market. We are proud to be part of this team.”
