The leading industry voice and technical resource for engine builders, machine shops and remanufacturers
since 1922.

Custom Automotive Network (formerly Performance Warehouse Association) is an organization of specialty
automotive parts distributors joined together to deal with management, financial and legislative matters.
Founded in 1971, CAN today leads the industry in jobber/retailer support programs. Thousands of high per-
formance retailers support the very successful Performance Automotive Retailer (PAR) program. The Dealer
Locator, Stay Connected Information Center (SCIC) and The Performance Warehouse Association University
(PWAU) programs have been developed to help the Jobber / Retailer succeed.
CAN produces an annual conference which is an exclusive opportunity for manufacturers and warehouse
distributors of specialty products to meet in a private, businesslike environment to discuss sales and mar-
keting policies and programs.

In 2017, National Performance Warehouse celebrated its 29th anniversary as a member of The AAM Group,
the SEMA aftermarket's largest and oldest program distribution group. AAM equips it members and their af-
filiated jobber/retailers with marketing tools, information and data, and services designed to help each be
more efficient and competitive. AAM delivers traditional program market material, such as tabloids and
posters, to the Horsepower Sales stores and many participating independent National Performance jobbers
in Canada, Florida, and California. In 2014, the AAM Group rolled out Digital Showcase, an innovative new
tablet based cataloging and mobile kiosk system for counter sales. AAM's digital marketing efforts support
NPW and its customers through social media, email campaigns, and product information and training.

The Alliance Aftermarket Auto Parts Alliance is comprised of over 50 independent shareholders who offer a wide array of
quality auto products with one main focus...SERVICE. The Auto Value and Bumper to Bumper warehouses,
parts stores, and certified service centers are found internationally across the US, Canada, and Mexico, Europe
and even into Asia. With over 1.9 million parts and accessories, the Alliance has the parts consumers want

SEMA consists of a diverse group of manufacturers, distributors, retailers, publishing companies, auto re-
storers, street-rod builders, restylers, car clubs, race teams and more. The 54 -year-old organization performs
many services for its members and for the hobby as a whole. SEMA works to protect consumers’ rights to
drive accessorized, customized and vintage vehicles. SEMA keeps close tabs on legislators in Washington,
D.C., and also in each state within the United States, so SEMA members and anyone who loves cars and
trucks can protest pending legislation that might harm our hobby, as well as endorse legislation that’s good
for car lovers.

SEMA produces the industry’s premier trade show in Las Vegas where manufacturers display the largest se-
lection of custom and performance parts in the world. NPW is an exhibitor in this show.

The only aftermarket trade association based in the United States that represents the shared interests of all
aftermarket companies. With more than 2,000 members, it is AAIA’s goal to Connect, Empower and Lead the
$307.7 billion motor vehicle aftermarket industry.

AAIA’s Members are...manufacturers, distributors, parts stores and service and repair shops, importers, busi-
ness services and manufacturers’ reps AAIA produces the AAPEX Show in Las Vegas during Industry Week.
AAPEX is to traditional parts what SEMA is to Performance, Truck and Accessorization.

portant distribution pipeline of racing retailers, race engine builders, race car builders and warehouse dis-
tributors, in addition to thousands of professional race teams. PRI is now part of the SEMA organization.
