Breaux is Motion Industries president – North America, and Storer is Motion Industries executive vice president U.S. Operations and president of Motion Mexico.
The award is the single highest individual recognition in Genuine Parts Company.
“This is the 60th consecutive year that we have recognized one Manager of the Year out of all our associates worldwide,” said Paul Donahue, president and CEO of Genuine Parts Company. “This year we decided to present the Manager of the Year Award to both Randy and Kevin to recognize the outstanding efforts of both leaders, resulting in a record year during a challenging time with the passing of Tim Breen, former president and CEO, in August. This award is the highest honor at GPC – a significant recognition of both Randy’s and Kevin’s exceptional leadership of the Motion Team in 2018.”
Prior to being named Motion Industries president in December 2018, Breaux was executive vice president of marketing, distribution, purchasing and strategic planning for the company, and has nearly four decades of experience in the industrial manufacturing and distribution markets.
