Hi-Tech Engine Components Names Lonnie Mayne as New Vice President of Sales

SALT LAKE CITY, July 15 -- Lonnie Mayne has joined Hi-Tech Engine Components as the Vice President of Sales. Previous positions held by Mr. Mayne include Western Special Markets Manager for Federal Mogul. More recently, he held the position of National Sales Manager for the Timken Bearing Company. In total, Mr. Mayne has more than 16 years of automotive aftermarket experience. In his new position, Mr. Mayne will set the strategic direction and oversee the activities of the Hi-Tech Engine Components sales force.

Upon accepting his new position, Mr. Mayne stated that he was looking forward to offering the benefits of the Hi-Tech Engine Components outsource solution to the aftermarket. He went on to explain that not only does outsourcing solve the problems associated with the rapidly expanding number of SKU's within this category but that it also dramatically improves the return on investment for these products. Of course, he said, outsourcing only works if your supply chain partner can perform. Hi-Tech provides over 95% same day order fill on 100% complete engine kits and 98% order fill within 48 hours. Mr. Mayne stated that automotive buyers should also keep in mind that sales of light duty engine parts and gaskets continue to account for over two billion dollars annually plus the sale of related products often exceeds the purchase price of the engine components themselves.
