Area51-ESG, Inc. announced their inclusion in the Q1 2008 edition of Automotive Industries magazine, distributed to over 50,000 global automotive industry leaders and decision-makers.
Area51-ESG is the first certified minority-owned, 8(a) disadvantaged Tier 2 supplier selected to be profiled and interviewed in the world’s oldest continuously published automotive trade publication.
In the interview, Mr. Hayes explains the surprising discovery that no semiconductor or component manufacturer has awarded a franchise to a minority-owned distributor to service the multi-billion dollar automotive electronics market. Every automotive OEM and many Tier1 suppliers in the United States have strategically valued the contributions of minority-owned businesses for decades, resulting in billions of dollars in annual contracts, yet electronic components have been overlooked. Area51-ESG is proposing a dialogue with automotive OEM, Tier1 suppliers, and the semiconductor and component manufacturers resulting in opportunities for minority-owned distributors to add supply chain value, reduce total cost, and create jobs.
