Brake and chassis manufacturer and supplier Centric Parts won the Outstanding Shipping Performance Award from the Aftermarket Auto Parts Alliance.

It’s the second year Centric, a division of APC Automotive, has won the award which is given in recognition of delivering a 95 per cent or greater fill rate throughout the last calendar year for all of tis product lines.

The award was handed out during the Alliance’s supplier and membership meetings in Miami in early December.

Charlie Kirkland, Centric’s vice president of sales, said called it “an honour” to be recognized again.

“Complete and on-time delivery is obviously crucial to Alliance’s business, which is why they make it a point to recognize supplier-partners that excel in fill rate performance,” he added. “We continue to drive Centric Parts further into Alliance’s distribution model with the right products that help make them successful year-over-year.”

Centric’s president, Greg Woo, also applauded the achievement. “I am very proud of the way our team held its own against some of the most recognized brands in the automotive aftermarket.”
