MEMPHIS, Tenn., April 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Automotive manufacturer and supplier Premium Guard Inc. (PGI), achieved a major milestone at the annual AutoZone Mexico Vendor Summit in Cancun, Mexico on April 9 by winning the prestigious “What It Takes To Do The Job Right” (WITTDTJR) award. The award is given annually to companies that demonstrate innovation, attention to detail, and customer commitment.
“PGI has dedicated time and resources to understand our market and the needs of our operations team,” said Andy Brito, Director of Merchandising at AutoZone Mexico. “Their efforts have led to the development of selling tools and training material to support territorial managers and close more sales.
