HDAW announces early supplier commitments to show specials program

HDAW17On Friday organizers of the 12th annual Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week (HDAW) introduced the Exhibiting Supplier Show Special program for independent distributors attending next month’s conference from Jan. 23-26, 2017, at the Mirage in Las Vegas.

HDAW organizers say the new program allows exhibiting suppliers to offer specials or promotions that will be offered to distributors that attend HDAW 2017 in Las Vegas.

As of Dec. 1, 2016, 39 exhibiting suppliers participating in the HDAW show special program, which is free of charge to suppliers. Suppliers can still participate in the program by completing the supplier participation form located on the HDAW website and following the instructions provided for submittal. Final cutoff date to participate is Jan. 6, 2017.

HDAW organizers say distributors will have access to the supplier specials lists and supplier contacts prior to arriving at HDAW 2017 to plan their time during the Product Expo and One-on-One Meetings.

“The addition of the Supplier Show Special program will allow the distributors the opportunity to introduce new product lines into their businesses as well to potentially off-set their HDAW trip with the savings they experience while at the conference,” says Don Purcell, partner at Stone Truck Parts and HDAW 2017 co-chair. “Introducing this program brings more value to the distributors and underlines that HDAW is a not-to-be missed event in our industry.”

“As a supplier, and as a co-chair this year with Don, I am very committed to bringing value to distributors while they are attending HDAW in January. I encourage suppliers to consider adding the Supplier Show Special program to their offerings while they are at HDAW 2017,” adds Carl Mesker, vice president, Aftermarket Americas at SAF Holland, who is participating in the 2017 program.
