Congratulations to Michael A. Kunzman on this milestone achievement as we celebrate half a century as automotive manufacturers representatives. Thank you to all of our customers, vendors and partners for a fantastic 50 years in the automotive industry.
SEMA names Kunzman & Associates the 2019 Manufacturers Rep Agency of the Year! This marks the seventh time Kunzman has been honored with this award, and it’s the second time that Kunzman has been named as both the SEMA and CAN (formerly PWA) rep of the year in a single year.
“We are honored to recognize each year the individuals and companies who embody the spirit of our industry,” said Chris Kersting, SEMA President and CEO. “The SEMA Industry Awards Banquet is a highlight of the SEMA Show and a great way to culminate an outstanding week of business. It’s always great to spend time with friends and family, celebrating the industry that we all love.”

Manufacturers’ Rep Agency of the Year: Kunzman & Associates
When aftermarket manufacturers seek to boost sales, expand into new territories or introduce new products, they often turn to a manufacturers’ rep agency. Because such agencies can play a pivotal role in getting products into the hands of consumers, the SEMA Manufacturers’ Rep Agency of the Year award honors those that demonstrate exceptional performance and professionalism, product-line knowledge, communication with suppliers and client networks, along with training and education.
The 2019 award went to Kunzman & Associates, whose vendor relationships have averaged 17 years over the course of the agency’s tenure. Kunzman & Associates is also known for its service to the industry at large; every member of its team belongs to a SEMA council, select committee or task force.
We are honored to once again be recognized by Custom Automotive Network (formerly PWA) as the 2019 CAN Reps of the Year. We have the privilege of working with the some of the best vendors and customers in the automotive industry. To be recognized for our work as manufacturers reps is the icing on the cake and a testament to the entire team at Kunzman for their constant enthusiasm, hard work and dedication day.

Last weekend was the annual P&E Distributors show, held 30 miles south of Nashville in Murfreesboro, TN. The show hosts over 600 accounts and is a wholesale-only show. The event features approximately 100 vendor booths and show vehicles, which includes truck, Jeep, performance, and 12 Volt.
The Saturday night appreciation dinner recognizes the top P&E Distributors employees from all three locations and is attended by their top customers, P&E employees, and vendors. The highlight of the dinner is the Vendor of the Year and Person of the Year awards. This year Kunzman’s very own John Iannotte was recognized as the prestigious Person of the Year! A well-deserved and hard-earned honor, we are very proud to have John as a part of the Kunzman team!
