Aeromotive, one of the market leaders in high-performance fuel systems, was announced as the 2018 SEMA Show Manufacturer of the Year during the SEMA Show Industry Awards Banquet last week.

The award honors companies that have made a significant impact on the specialty equipment market during the past 12 months of SEMA’s fiscal year July 1, 2017, through June 30, 2018. SEMA’s criteria is far-ranging and includes a history of SEMA involvement, proven outstanding business practices, workforce excellence and employee well-being, protection of brand equity, quality retail displays and packaging, and innovative processes and products.

With over 2,900 SEMA manufacturers able to compete, three candidates made the slate for the final candidacy before the show—Aeromotive Inc., Edlebrock Inc. and Hunter Engineering Company.

Aeromotive Founder and President Steve Matusek accepted the award, which was presented by Formula D announcer Jarod DeAnda and off-road racer and industry personality Jessi Combs.

“I was thrilled to accept the award on behalf of every single employee that works hard to design and build the absolute finest fuel systems and components on the market,” Matusek said. “Our commitment to develop the pinnacle of performance products comes from our history, our real-world experiences and our passion.”

Matusek concluded his speech by urging the industry to help fight foreign counterfeiters and knock-off artists before thanking the judges for the honor on behalf of his entire Aeromotive team. Matusek was accompanied onstage by Kyle Fickler, Shawn Dill, Johnson Barrick, Amanda Matusek, Jackson Lueg, Matt Brewer, Jon Pestinger, Jeff Stacy and Darr Hawthorn.

Aeromotive is the third company to receive the honor joining MagnaFlow (2017) and WeatherTech (2016).
