Performance Industry Publishing Has a New Owner
About 10 years ago, longtime automotive aftermarket veteran Fleet Thompson started Performance Industry Publishing (PIP) to help facilitate communications between manufacturers, jobbers/retailers and consumers to stimulate sales. With the industry in a constant state of flux, Thompson felt he needed help to take PIP “to the next level,” so he recently sold the company to manufacturer James Wilkins, who takes over as president and CEO.
“I recognized I needed someone like Jim to spearhead the company and guide its growth,” said Thompson, who will remain with PIP and head up the company’s marketing and sales. “Jim fit the slot perfectly.”
Wilkins, who has an engineering degree from Rochester Institute of Technology, is also the owner of Centillion Industries, which manufactures automotive aftermarket and motorcycle parts for OEMs. Wilkins said he was drawn to PIP because “I've always enjoyed helping businesses save money and expand their sales…and that’s exactly what PIP does. Fleet and I share a common vision for what we can do to help manufacturers increase sales and reduce costs.”
Wilkins added, “We plan to continue to build on our web marketing, which is evolving daily as the interaction with social media and the interests and habits of end-users develops new opportunities. Staying on top of the rapid changes in web marketing and social media trends, and knowing which sites and trends are appropriate venues for our clients is a major benefit we provide. It’s also an exciting and rewarding task for us, which allows our clients to concentrate on what they do best—developing and manufacturing new products.”
