	The business services section of the SEMA Show includes auto shop management equipment.

As the world’s premier automotive specialty-products trade show, the 2010 SEMA Show, to be held at the Las Vegas Convention Center from November 2–5, 2010, attracts more than 100,000 industry leaders from more than 100 countries and also provides a unique opportunity for buyers and exhibitors to connect.

The Show covers the entire realm of the specialty-equipment industry and is comprised of 12 categories: Business Services; Global Tire Expo—Powered by TIA; Hot Rod Alley; Mobile Electronics & Technology; Paint, Body & Equipment; Powersports & Utility Vehicles; Racing & Performance; Restoration Marketplace; Restyling & Car Care Accessories; Tools & Equipment; Trucks, SUVs & Off-Road; and Wheels & Accessories.

The final 2010 SEMA Show category is Business Services. So far, 44 business services companies—of which 17 are first-timers—are exhibiting in the North Hall.

“The business services section is unique because it targets not only buyers, but also other Show exhibitors,” said Peter MacGillivray, vice president of communications and events. “It’s relevant to just about everyone who attends the Show, reinforcing that this is a trade-only event designed to help companies in the industry do business.”

Regardless of the market niche, there are several services that all automotive businesses need. Discover new business services and cost-effective options by visiting the Business Services section in North Hall. Learn what resources are available for inventory control, computer systems and business software as well as display and shop-management equipment, staffing alternatives and help with insurance and finances.

“Many exhibitors in this section have a proven history of helping our industry and offer unique programs catered to our audience,” MacGillivray said. “Everyone at the Show is encouraged to stop by this section to see what’s new and how they might be able to be more efficient and save money.”

The services these exhibitors offer are especially useful to small businesses and many of them offer group discounts for this industry and know and understand the challenges the industry currently faces. Also, because they are small businesses, they often don’t have time to research and learn about some of the products offered at the Show, so this is a good opportunity for businesses to see how they can save money.

The winners of the annual SkillsUSA Championships in Collision Repair Technology were announced June 25, 2010, at the Awards Ceremony of the SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference in Kansas City. More than 5,600 career and technical education students joined in the hands-on competition in 96 different trade, technical and leadership fields. The philosophy of the Championships is to reward students for excellence, involve the industry in directly evaluating student performance and keep training relevant to employers’ needs. SkillsUSA students not only excel in their technical skills, but in employability skills as well.

The Collision Repair Technology Committee requires students to compete in the following areas: metal work, an A.S.E. test, structural damage analysis, reconciling an estimate with published time guides, plastic identification and repair and welding. Contestants are judged on the overall appearance of the finished products and proper safety practices as they race against the clock and other competitors.

The 2010 winner of the SkillsUSA Collision Repair Technology Contest for the Secondary Gold Medal was Chance Brickner from the Sentinel Career Center in Tiffin, Ohio. His instructor is Carl Rusch.

The 2010 winner of the SkillsUSA Collision Repair Technology Contest for the Post-Secondary Gold Medal was Kevin Massey from Morgan Community College in Fort Morgan, Colorado. His instructor is Tim Grauberger.

State Farm Insurance sponsors the trip to Las Vegas for the winners and their instructors to experience the SEMA Show. With the Paint, Body & Equipment area being more prominent this year and the added educational sessions specific to the paint and body market, SEMA is an excellent fit for these future industry leaders. As many of the paint and body organizations begin to work with SEMA, it makes it a more valuable resource for the industry.

UPS has helped SEMA members improve customer service and increase operational efficiency by providing visibility into every aspect of the supply chain.

In recent years, the global automotive industry has gone through much change due to economic uncertainties. As a result, many automotive businesses may have shied away from major technology upgrades or changes. As we continue to emerge from the economic downturn, and the industry is showing signs of progress globally, especially in emerging markets, there’s a great need for technology that connects businesses around the world and helps them operate more efficiently than ever before. In fact, SEMA Show sponsor UPS believes new technologies will be key to helping companies grow and recover from the worldwide economic downturn.

“SEMA members need to consider technology that ultimately yields a more flexible and cost-effective global supply chain,” said Kristin DeBates, UPS marketing manager, serving customers in the automotive industry. “The right technology should give SEMA members greater visibility into their supply chains, while also addressing operational inefficiencies.”

Technology Brings Efficiencies and Cost Savings

UPS can help SEMA members leverage technology to create a more efficient global supply chain. For instance, UPS helped Mercedes Electric Supply, a distributor of electrical equipment based in Miami, automate its entire logistics model. As a result, the company saved 20% on transportation costs and three hours of employee time a day. What’s more, now the company can properly track each order, keeping customers informed and reducing order status calls.

Through UPS WorldShip software, SEMA-member company Jackson Marketing Group (JMG) can prepare documents, package and freight shipments in a few mouse clicks. What’s more, the software is integrated into JMG’s internal system, allowing instant access to customer addresses and billing information. JMG estimates that this feature saves the shipping department 30 to 60 minutes per day, while also reducing errors from manual data entry.

“UPS helps [us] accomplish all of our day-to-day shipping needs,” says Kevin Johnson, COO of JMG. “We have streamlined our shipping processes and it’s great to have a single partner to rely on.”

In addition to cost and time savings, UPS has helped SEMA members improve customer service and increase operational efficiency by providing visibility into every aspect of the supply chain. Such technology enables automotive businesses to see their shipments anytime, anywhere, so both the company and the customer stay informed. Greater visibility also helps companies automate the receiving and credit processes and allocate staff based on inbound volume.

To learn more about how technology can optimize your supply chain, visit UPS’ booth at this year’s SEMA Show, #11937 in the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center, or attend the “UPS Technology as a Competitive Advantage” session on Monday, November 1 at 3:00 p.m. Or, contact Kristin DeBates at kdebates@ups.com to set up a detailed discussion.

Visit HRIA's website.

Have You Registered a Patent or Trademark? Your Competition Has.

Protecting the intellectual property rights (IPR) of its members is a top SEMA priority. The process begins when companies register their patents, trademarks, and copyrights with government agencies in the United States (and other countries). Registration is a key to establishing legal rights.

To assist its members, SEMA has created a webpage called Introduction to Intellectual Property Rights, explaining the different types of IP, including protecting new products (utility patents) and product designs (design patent), identifying the source of the product (trademarks), and protecting product brochures or website designs (copyright). It also contains information on how to register IP along with links to seminars, webinars and SEMA News articles.

With respect to enforcing IP rights at the SEMA Show, the association has developed an effective policy for pursuing infringement allegations. SEMA’s IP enforcement policy is posted on the IPR web page and is also published as part of the Exhibitor Services Manual. Questions may be directed to Stuart Gosswein (stuartg@sema.org).

HRIA Builds Custom Pinewood Racers for Auction

The first annual HRIA Builders Pinewood Race was held in Pasadena, California, as part of the SEMA Show 'N Shine car show and Pinewood Drag Races. This new event featured some of the nation’s top hot-rod and custom car builders bending the rules of pinewood car racing to create one-of-a-kind creations for the track. Aside from required dimensions and weights, the only rule for the builders was to use at least one piece of the wood block provided.

All of the participating builders far exceeded the expectations for the race, creating masterpieces that will eventually be auctioned for Childhelp and Victory Junction Gang Camp.

Alan Johnson's Hot Rods and Pinkee’s Rod Shop chose to create their hot rods from billet aluminum, while Rich Evans Designs and Street Vizions went with a more traditional approach of forming their cars from wood. Other builders looked for loopholes in the rules, as Rob Ida Concepts and Cotati Speed Shop entered hot rods with only three wheels.

The cars built by Clay Smith Cams and Carl’s Custom Cars embodied the spirit of traditional hot rods, while Boerne Stage Kustoms paid tribute to the land speed bullets of the past. The paint skills of these builders was on display with great entries from Hot Rods & Custom Stuff and Fesler Built.

Finally, Art Morrison engineered the most unique and advanced pinewood car in the race, fabricating an actual chassis and suspension, along with ball-bearing wheels.

Although some of the cars look much better than they raced, all of these pinewood cars are unique works of art. Derrick White with Street Vizions captured the HRIA Cup by leaving all the other entrants in the dust with his traditional hot-rod pinewood car. But, the true winners of this event will be the kids of Childhelp and Victory Junction Gang Camp.

All of these cars will be on display at the SEMA Show in November, and available for bidding on eBay beginning November 1. HRIA congratulates Street Vizions and thanks all of these builders for their time and dedication to this special event. Get ready for next year, as we are sure the cars will be even more unique and wild as we add more great builders to the race. Click here to see photos of the event.

Visit PRO's website.

Have you ever wondered how to get more involved in the SEMA Professional Restylers Organization (PRO) Council?

What exactly do the council leaders do throughout their term? Very simply, the Select Committee is elected by members of the council to serve a two-year term. They participate in monthly conference calls and meetings that are held at various trade events throughout the year. Each Select Committee member volunteers for at least 20 hours throughout the year, and some volunteer even more. Some share their experience and vision, others provide creative solutions to challenges our member companies are facing and others get their hands dirty and get it done. Each Select Committee member is supported by their company in their PRO efforts, and for that we say, “thank you,” to those companies!

The leaders of the PRO gathered earlier this year in Lima, Ohio, for its annual Long-Range Planning meeting. This meeting focused on bringing value to the PRO-member companies. The past 18 months have been extremely challenging for all of our companies, and the council is dedicated to utilizing SEMA’s resources to further benefit each PRO member.

Guiding the group’s effort was the council’s mission statement to “address the challenges facing the restyling segment of the automotive aftermarket and to develop effective strategies for dealing with industry-specific issues.” A handful of exciting objectives are being developed for the council over this year and next. If you are passionate and have an interest in being involved, there are plenty of opportunities to volunteer for a task force with a limited investment of time that provides a great way to network and share your ideas. Please reach out to the task force chair if you want to participate or have comments.

Education Task Force
Brian Champa (Check Corporation) and Bill North (Webasto Product North America) co-chair this task force and can be reached at bchampa@checkcorp.com or bill.north@webasto-us.com. The education task force is charged with developing successful programs for members to enhance their businesses. The Technical Skills & Training Conference (TSTC) recently launched, and the group is tasked with expanding the number of events each year to ensure that training and education become primary drivers for our industry.

NovemberFest Task Force
Mike Stanifer (Innovative Creations Inc.) chairs this group and can be reached at mike@icionline.com. The SEMA Show in Las Vegas provides the backdrop for critical networking functions. This group focuses on making PRO’s awards reception the place to be and offering a fun forum to bring passionate members with common interests together.

Membership Task Force
Joey Johnston (Tops & Trends) chairs this group and can be reached at joey@topsandtrends.com. The success of any council or initiative is dependent upon its members. This task force focuses on growth, promotion and retention. It is important that we mentor new members on council activities, events, meetings and benefits.

ProPledge Task Force
David Stringer (Insignia Group) chairs this group and can be reached at dstringer@insigniagroup.com. The purpose of this group is to promote industry standards and to improve the perception of aftermarket installations throughout the restyling industry. ProPledge offers dealers a warranty program and is committed to delivering quality products and services.

There are so many other things the council leadership does throughout the year. You are the expert at what your business needs, and this council wants to deliver. Feel free to get in touch with us or come to one of our PRO events. Our hope is that if you haven’t been a part of PRO yet, you will be in 2010 and beyond.
