CANTON, OH — Timken’s Automotive Aftermarket group has announced the recipients of its 2007 Manufacturers’ Representative Awards. The winners were honored during their sales representative meeting, which took place at the Sands Expo Center during Automotive Aftermarket Industry Week.
Those who exceeded $1 million in sales joined the Million Dollar Sales Club and include: Ed Palnau and Glenn Cattanach, Kitchin & Sons; Jim Connolly and Jerry Spexarth, Connolly Sales & Marketing; Michael Glazier, Glazier Sales; Mike Lenszuolo, Grinold O’Brien Sales; Ben Rawls, Hirsig-Frazier Company, Inc.; Gary Linsley and Alan Tiegs, RepWorks Marketing; and Ken Brandt, Sherman/Peterson.
Hirsig-Frazier Company, Inc. (HF) was selected as the Manufacturers’ Representative Agency of the Year. Agencies were judged on the basis of four criteria: agency growth, professionalism, communication and visibility.
“This award is particularly gratifying as the winner was determined by quantitative and qualitative measurements,” said Wally Lyssy, president of HF. “This award validates our ongoing commitment to enhance both Timken’s and our own performance through our total solutions approach to deliver value to customers.”
The award has special significance for HF’s team of dedicated professionals as 2007 marks the company’s 75th anniversary of service to the automotive and heavy-duty aftermarket. Timken entered into a sales agency agreement with HF in 1998. Since that time, the HF team has helped Timken grow its business by reaching new customers, while offering enhanced services to its existing customer base.
