Federated Auto Parts was named a Gold Lifetime Trustee of the University of the Aftermarket Foundation after a recent donation made to the foundation in honor of Larry Sills, executive chairman of Standard Motor Products.
“At Federated, we believe that education and training are critical to the future success of our members, customers and the industry as a whole,” said Rusty Bishop, CEO of Federated Auto Parts. “We recently inducted Larry Sills into the Federated Vendor Hall of Fame because he shares the same passion for learning. It was only fitting that we make a donation to the University of the Aftermarket Foundation in his name to acknowledge his commitment to education and demonstrate our continued support of the foundation’s mission.”
The Gold Lifetime Trustee designation is reserved for those donating $250,000 to $499,999 to the University of the Aftermarket Foundation. Other Gold Lifetime Trustees include: Aftermarket Auto Parts Alliance, Automotive Warehouse Distributors Association, Dayco Products, Gates Corp. and Tenneco Automotive.
