Hot Time in Las Vegas

HRIA, a SEMA council dedicated to the future prosperity of the hot rod industry, selected QA1 as Business of the Year from its member companies, representing many industries ranging from retail, manufacturing, distribution, publishing, and more. Presented to QA1 at HRIA’s annual banquet at the SEMA show on November 2nd, this prestigious annual award recognizes a company that has made an exceptional contribution and has had a positive impact in the hot rod industry.

“On behalf of the entire QA1 team, we are truly honored and appreciative to the HRIA for this recognition,” says Melissa Scoles, QA1 President and CEO. “As we enter our 30th year, this award reinforces our guiding principle of developing high quality, affordable products and enhancing customer experiences”.

This award highlights QA1’s decades-long commitment to the industry and to its values. Founded in 1993 and now entering its 30th year of business, QA1 has focused on quality and affordability as the number-one priority and a backbone to all its functions: USA-made products, service and support. With an emphasis on innovation and new product development, the QA1 culture continuously evolves the way it solves problems for customers.

QA1 was “nominated because of the impact they made in their Customer Service operations,” says Danny Agosta, HRIA Select Committee Chair. “They work closely with builders, getting things set up, customized applications, etc. and it’s a level of service that is unfortunately rare today”.

In recent years, QA1’s creation of the #goDRIVEit movement has encouraged hot rodders and street cruisers to go out and have fun with their vehicle. By supporting and facilitating numerous events around the country, the foundation of the #goDRIVEit movement is one of collaboration and enthusiasm – and is just one of the many ways QA1 has contributed a positive impact for the industry.
