Friction Materials LLC, maker of Bendix® and Jurid® brake products, was awarded ‘preferred premium friction supplier’ status by Germantown, Tenn.-based Automotive Distribution Network (ADN) during the group’s annual membership meeting last month.
“We are very proud of the confidence the Network has placed in our products and we look forward to serving the members of its organization,” says Jim Kelley, director of sales, North America for Friction Materials, and an attendee at the event. “ADN is a premier program group and we are excited to be a part of their extended family.”
The Network group consists of 38 members with 235 warehouse distributor locations. These members service more than 2,000 affiliated auto parts stores and more than 1,400 affiliated repair service centers.
Friction Materials sales personnel will work with each of the group’s members to determine the best product selection and to develop a business model that fits their needs.
