TIMMONSVILLE, SC -- Release Date - January 20, 2010 --

  Perfection established Perfection de Mexico last month through a joint venture partnership agreement with LODI Automotive Industries, a family owned business in Monterrey, Mexico. LODI was founded in 1969 and is well known in Mexico for their quality manufacturing of parts for engines and transmissions for the Mexican domestic and export aftermarket. Perfection committed to the creation of a permanent presence in Mexico with an established and well respected company and LODI was clearly the best choice.

  The two companies have been working together for the last 18 months to build the infrastructure needed to launch the business. It has been a perfect fit for both companies. Perfection de Mexico provides the highest quality new clutch sets, clutch hydraulics and new flywheels to the Mexican aftermarket.

  The LODI brand is well-known and sold throughout Mexico and abroad and now the LODI clutch brand will be co-branded with the highly respected Perfection clutch brand.

  “We are excited about our permanent presence in this fast growing clutch market.” states Jim Ott, president of Perfection, “We are entering this market with a complete package. We have an experienced and talented sales team deployed throughout the country. Our efficient warehouse and distribution center is complete with a world class product development and testing lab and is up and running in Monterrey. The management team has great experience in the Mexican market and they are motivated to put the customers first!”

  Perfection, headquartered in Timmonsville, South Carolina, is a leading supplier of New Clutch Sets, New Flywheels, Clutch Hydraulics and ZOOM Performance Products to the North American Automotive Aftermarket.
