Mighty Auto Parts President and CEO Ken Voelker hailed 2013, the company’s 50th anniversary, as a golden year.

“The icing on the cake from our 50th celebration was a hefty sales increase of 5.4% over the previous year, which represents the best year ever in our company’s history. It shows our unique business model is resonating with customers here and abroad,” he said.

Mighty’s all-time record in sales comes at a time when, according to industry sources, annual growth in the aftermarket is at about 2%.

Citing reasons other than the company’s service levels for gaining significant traction in sales, Voelker included “a focus on dynamic product lines like our premium VS7 chemicals, tire service products, and meeting the product needs of emerging market segments like new car dealerships. Our international sales and expansion into Canada also contributed to our record year and bode well for Mighty in 2014 and beyond.”

Mighty Distributing System of America, a franchisor of sales and services in aftermarket auto parts, is headquartered in Norcross, Ga., and oversees 114 distributors in 41 states and four international markets.
