Engine Pro’s celebration of a quarter century in business served as the backdrop for honoring the company’s five top suppliers. The Featured Supplier Awards were made at the group’s recent winter shareholders meeting in Dallas. Companies recognized were B P Rods, Dura-Bond Bearing Co., Hastings Piston Ring Co., Melling Engine Parts and SA Gear Inc.

Shareholders select the Featured Suppliers from more than 90 companies providing engine parts to the group. The suppliers are selected based on each company's ability to offer extraordinary value, exceptional programs and policies, and maintain excellent working relationships. Companies chosen for the honor also must be the primary source in its product category to at least 80% of Engine Pro’s members.
