So excited to have Mercado Libre at the MEMA Aftermarket Global Summit. Such an impressive e-commerce player and lots to learn for all markets. Latin America saw 20.1% e-commerce growth last year!

At the MEMA Global Aftermarket Summit, fascinating to hear in the near-shoring session the challenge of the China tooling cost advantage. Near-shoring is mega-trend, but can be financial and operational stress for suppliers that customers need to appreciate

.@RepDavidEPrice @senthomtillis @SenatorBurr, support vehicle suppliers by passing competitiveness legislation, including CHIPS, OSRA, IP language, and R&D deductibility before July 1. We must not be left behind in the global competitiveness battle.
We agree w/ @POTUS. Consumer choice and free markets must be at the center of the conversation. We support the WH actions but vehicle owners need more. Support right to repair -- the future of the aftermarket depends on it. p2a.co/uhcblzp #righttorepair #Automotive
When you own a product, you should be able to repair it yourself. That’s why I included support for the “right to repair” in my Executive Order. Now, companies like Apple and Microsoft are changing their policies so folks will be able to repair their devices themselves.

George W. Bush spoke to us in the aftermarket last year at AAPEX. Perhaps we should listen to the words of our former president once again in these difficult and important times:

Congratulations, Rusty. Hard to imagine you retired, but we hope you enjoy it. And thank you for everything you have done for the industry and to make the University of the Aftermarket Foundation the vibrant, worthwhile organization it is today.
Rusty Bishop, CEO of Federated Auto Parts, was recently honored by the University of the Aftermarket Foundation (UAF) with its prestigious Educational Advocacy Award. The award was presented by UAF Chairman Bob Egan during the annual AWDA luncheon in Las Vegas last month.
