David Abrahams and Lee Martine of Tasco Auto Color Tammy and David Kenimer of Southern Auto Color In an unprecedented move, PPG named two distributors— Southern Auto Color of Gainesville, Ga., and Tasco Auto Color of Houston, Texas—as the recipients of its Platinum Distributor of the Year award. It was the first time PPG has given the prestigious recognition to more than one distributor. Southern Auto Color owners David and Tammy Kenimer and Tasco Auto Color president and vice president David Abrahams and Lee Martinez, respectively, accepted their award at the recent PPG Platinum Distributor Conference held in Las Vegas. "We had two organizations that were exceptional in their performance over the course of the year," said Bob Wenzinger, director of the PPG Platinum Distributor program. "While they differ in size, they were both standouts in their operations and execution, customer service and support. Southern and Tasco excelled in every area. To give the award to just one company would have been a disservice to the other. It is our privilege to honor Southern Auto Color and Tasco Auto Color as the 2016 Platinum Distributors of the Year."
