SMYRNA, Tenn., March 4, 2009 -- Beck/Arnley hosted an afternoon of Southern hospitality during an event, ÒFrom Music City to the WorldÓ, on March 1, 2009, for aftermarket customers who had been in Nashville attending the recent Automotive Distribution Network (ADN) conference. Attendees included wholesale distributors, jobbers and technicians.

ÒThis event was a great way for Beck/Arnley to literally open its doors to customers from across the United States to learn more about the company in a fun and informative way,Ó said Max Dull, president & CEO, Beck/Arnley. ÒIt also gave us the opportunity to spend quality time with our customers face to face. I know everyone really enjoyed the day and got a lot out of the experience.Ó

During the event, attendees toured the Beck/Arnley facility and learned interesting facts about the company, its Application Specific Sourcing, its proprietary parts sample library, and general operations and distribution overview.

They were also treated to live music from an area artist, local food, fun and door prizes. More than 150 guests participated in the Beck/Arnley event.
