AmeriWest Sales named 2005 Manufacturers' Representative Agency Of The Year.

Fenton, MO - AMS Automotive, Inc. has named AmeriWest Sales as their 2005 Manufacturers' Representative Agency Of The Year. Founded in 2003 by Keith Ziegler and Marty Stone, AmeriWest provides marketing and sales support for AMS in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska.

During the year, AmeriWest was instrumental in securing the business of five (5) major new accounts. In addition, they organized and implemented these changeovers, which included logistics planning, inventory evaluation, repackaging of inventory, and training counter personnel and sales personnel.

Total AMS sales volume in their territory was more than three (3) times greater than in 2004. Even more remarkable is the fact that all AMS customers in the territory experienced sales growth versus the previous year. That's because the AmeriWest team continues working closely with customers to find new ways to increase their sales and profitability.

Chris Jackson, Vice President of AMS Automotive stated, "The success at AmeriWest is the result of their effort, knowledge, persistence and effective communication. Each staff member is fully versed on the advantages of our program and they know how to relay this information to all levels of the distribution chain. They dedicate a great deal of time throughout the region working with jobbers and installers to promote the quality, value, and coverage of our New Generation and RhinoPac brands. What's more, they communicate with me on a regular basis regarding issues and opportunities."

AMS congratulates each member of the AmeriWest team for their efforts in 2005:

Aaron Lee - St. Helens, OR
Jeff Rudnick - Seattle, WA
Keith Ziegler - Battle Ground, WA
Marty Stone - Tacoma, WA
