When you’ve become the single-largest company in the performance automotive aftermarket, brandishing an incredible 62 brands beneath your umbrella, some internal structuring needs to be occasionally reorganized and streamlined. In a sequence of press releases, Holley Inc. recently announced that it will be rebranding itself Holley Performance Brands as well as the addition of two new Vice Presidents.
For the most part, the name change is mostly aesthetic and will not directly effect how you the consumer will engage with Holley, despite what current President and CEO, Matthew Stevenson stated: “The rebranding to Holley Performance Brands marks a significant milestone in our journey. Our strong and diversified brand portfolio and alignment along our new vertical groupings are fueling our transformation and will help drive innovation and growth. This change propels us into an exciting new era of automotive performance and reflects that Holley Performance Brands is not just about parts but part of something more powerful.”
Simultaneously, Holley added two new senior leaders, Charlie Taylor as Vice President of Digital Strategy and Will Robbins as Vice President of Consumer Product Strategy. Stevenson noted, “We continue to take steps to leverage our full brand portfolio to provide enticing and desirable solutions that meet the needs of today’s enthusiasts. Charlie and Will are dynamic leaders with deep understanding of the automotive aftermarket, and we’re confident that their leadership will help us identify new opportunities for growth. We look forward to the contributions they will make to our company, brands and customers.”
