MIAMI National Performance Warehouse Companies (NPW) will start their FAST Expo weekend on Jan. 14, with a gala Friday evening dinner on the 14th floor of the private Bankers Club of Miami. Located in downtown Miami, the facilities provide a panoramic view of Biscayne Bay, Fisher Island, the Port of Miami and Bayfront Park. This “Million Dollar Dinner” event is held to recognize NPW vendors in the “million dollar” plus purchase category and to thank them for their efforts to grow NPW revenue.
Last year’s event included dignitaries from AAM Parts Pro, Autometer, Bumper to Bumper, Centric, DEA Products, Dorman, Edelbrock, Federal-Mogul, Holley, MSD, NGK, Standard Motor Products and several other leading brands. Guests who make the list are presented awards and their names placed on the company’s Honor Cup for posterity.
“Our FAST Expo is the kickoff for our new year and most of our suppliers are already in town," said Larry Pacey, CEO and president of the company. "We appreciate the support from all the suppliers and we wanted to do something special for them so we created this club to honor those at the forefront in sales and hope that we encourage others to make it to the club level as that benefits our suppliers, our customers and of course, NPW. It is really a great event and we hope to keep expanding our club ranks as we have this year.”
NPW produces two other trade events, the new for 2014 KARS Expo in Toronto, Canada, on March 22-23, 2014; and the CARS Expo in San Jose, Calif., on April 13, 2014.
