ORLAND PARK, Ill. – Curious about the current economic tough times being the “best time” for the heavy duty aftermarket? Stu MacKay will address this key question and more during the opening general session of Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week 2010 on Tuesday, Jan. 19.
The annual meeting’s first session is the HD Aftermarket Forum, providing distributors with an informative program delving into the Heavy Duty aftermarket industry’s current state, further exploring where it is headed tomorrow and why the current market may prove to be an opportunity. Longtime industry expert and consultant MacKay has contacted 600 fleets and 200 distributors to examine more closely the reasons behind the market share shifts in heavy duty distribution over the past 20 years.
Determining how and why truck fleet management choose their parts and service providers will be the prelude to a lively discussion between MacKay; Terry Dotson, president, CEO of WorldWide Equipment Inc., a truck dealer; and William (Bill) Ryan, chairman and CEO of Point Spring & Driveshaft Co., a distributor. Conference attendees will gain firsthand insight into both the dealer’s and the distributor’s perspective of the current market and further understand these business philosophies.
HDAW’10 will be held at the Mirage in Las Vegas, Nev., Monday, Jan. 18 through Thursday, Jan. 21, 2010.
