Arnold Motor Supply has named Chris Sanchez Vice President of Product Category Management. Sanchez brings 22 years of aftermarket experience from
Trimon, Inc., (dba as Monument Car Parts), headquartered in Northern California. During his career, Sanchez held nearly every role in the organization, starting as a counter professional and progressing through store management and district leadership before moving into a general management role with responsibility for human resources, IT, safety, purchasing, and marketing. That hands-on background gives him a strong understanding of how decisions at the category level impact stores, teams, and customers.
Sanchez also served on the product committee for the Aftermarket Auto Parts Alliance for the past four years, where he worked closely with manufacturers and distribution partners on product planning and channel partner relationships. “I’m excited about the opportunity to build on what Arnold Motor Supply already does well,” Sanchez said. “There’s a strong foundation here, and I’m looking forward to learning the business, working with the team, and helping move things forward.” Sanchez succeeds Bryan Miller, who is transitioning into retirement later this year.
“Chris is a natural fit for our company,” said Eric Johnson, President and Managing Partner of Arnold Motor Supply. “He understands our products and markets and has strong, established channel partner relationships. Coming from Trimon, an Aftermarket Auto Parts Alliance member, he also understands how working within the Alliance strengthens our industry and creates value for customers. His experience and approach align well with how we do business.
