McHenry, IL — May 14, 2009  - In what has turned into an ongoing tradition at the annual National Catalog Managers Association (NCMA) Conference, the Affinia Global Brake & Chassis Group again took home an impressive collection of NCMA President’s Awards in 2009. 
 
Held May 2-5 in Long Beach, Calif., the NCMA Knowledge Exchange gathered catalog, product management and marketing professionals to celebrate excellence in cataloging within the automotive aftermarket.

Affinia Global Brake & Chassis earned the NAPA Gold Level Award for Data Excellence at the conference – one of two awards NAPA presented to vendors who consistently demonstrate excellence and quality in electronic catalog content. Affinia also took home President’s Awards for CD Catalog Graphics (recognizing the Raybestos® eSelect Chassis catalog) and Best Web Site Catalog (awarded for best use of graphics and recognizing Raybestos Chassis).

“These awards are a testament to the hard work and dedication of everyone in the marketing, graphic design and catalog departments at Affinia,” said Josh Russell, Vice President of Marketing, Affinia Global Brake & Chassis Group. “We place a great deal of importance on displaying our products in a professional way – both in print and online - and these awards are evidence that Affinia is a leader in this pursuit.”
