Edelbrock LLC announced that Chris Crecelius has joined the company’s sales team as the new regional account sales manager. Working out of Memphis, Tennessee, Crecelius will be handling accounts throughout Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Western Tennessee.

A 24-year veteran of the aftermarket performance industry, Crecelius comes to Edelbrock after 13 years as national sales manager for Hypertech Inc., where he was responsible for the company’s sales and marketing programs for all sales channels including retail, wholesale, dealer and specialty markets. Prior to that, he was the regional sales manager for Holley Performance Products, where he managed $20 million in sales for all accounts in the Midwest region.

Crecelius, who starts with Edelbrock this week, will report directly to Cary Redman, Edelbrock’s national sales manager.

“We are extremely excited to have Chris join our Edelbrock Sales Team,” said Redman. “His many years of experience, product knowledge and personality, will fit right in with us at Edelbrock.”

In addition to his extensive background in aftermarket sales, Crecelius also is a past SEMA leader, who has served on the Young Executives Network Committee and the Emerging Trends and Technologies Select Committee.

“I’m super excited to join the Edelbrock sales team,” said Crecelius. “I’ve used and sold Edelbrock products in the past and have been inspired by the history and heritage of the company since I was a kid reading car magazines. I am looking forward to working with Edelbrock’s customers to help grow their business.”
