Auto 7 names Andy Jados regional sales manager
Auto 7 Inc. has named Andy Jados, formerly a Territory Sales Manager for AutoZone, as the company’s Northeast Regional Sales Manager, according to Vice President Patrick Sommerfeld.
Jados has spent his entire career in sales, first with UCI-Fram AutoBrands where he was Territory Sales Manager for the New York City area before being named the company’s Regional Sales Representative for the AutoZone account. He later was hired by AutoZone, where he was Western Michigan Territory Sales Representative.
“We’re very pleased to have Andy join our team,” Sommerfeld said. “The Northeast USA region is a critical market for Auto 7, and his expertise in both traditional warehouse distribution and national accounts is a perfect fit for our current and future plans.”
A native of Muskegon, Mich., Jados has opened new lines of distribution and sold auto parts in every major U.S. city, and was named Salesman of the Year several times in his career. As one of four regional sales managers for Auto 7, Jados is responsible for maintaining and growing the company’s current business and signing new distribution.
Auto 7 is part of an international company that has been in business for more than 63 years. It offers a catalog with more than 80,000 applications, and represents Korean made cars like Hyundai, KIA and GM-Korea. The company supplies a wide array of Korean-made, OEM quality automotive parts that are ISO-14000, QS-9000 or ISO/TS-16949 certified, and many of which are not typically available in the traditional aftermarket supply chain.
