PIGEON FORGE, TN (09.01.23) – Alpine had a major presence at the LaConte Center in Pigeon Forge Thursday-Saturday August 24th thru the 26th. Alpine returned to the event for the first time since 2019 with a larger booth footprint, Alpine Event Trailer, tents and installation booths.
DOW Technologies, Alpine area distributor, and key retailer Soundwaves of Tampa were on site with staff members and inventory to handle sales and onsite installations for the tens of thousands of Jeep enthusiasts who attended the mega event.
The large Alpine booth footprint was busy throughput the event.
DOW’s Mike Hurwitz works to unload Alpine inventory after arriving from Tampa.
Jay Johnson, DOW Director of Marketing related “Alpine has a great presence at the 11th Annual Great Smokey Mountain Jeep Club Invasion. The event had incredible attendance of enthusiastic Jeepers. Mike Hurwitz, Strategic Sales Manager-12volt, and Dave Elkin-Senior Vice President from DOW supported Alpine with inventory management for sales and installations. Peter Ruiz and his team from Soundwaves Auto Sound and Security from Tampa did a terrific job onsite handling sales and installations.”
The Alpine Restyle System was featured and a big seller.
The install bays under the Alpine tents were packed throughout the event.
Additional Alpine staff members on site included Roy Meyer, Eastern Regional, Eric Brooks who rolled in with the Alpine Event Trailer, Chris Reavis with a loaded Alpine Jeep along with Colin Vargo, also with an Alpine Jeep.
Elkin stated “Mike and I rolled out of Tampa for Pigeon Forge in a large truck loaded with Alpine products and supplies for the 700 mile drive up to Pigeon Forge. Considering all of the steps of exhibiting at a large event all went very smoothly. The Alpine, Soundwaves and DOW team members communicated very well. The Soundwaves team worked from sun up till after dark to compete sales and installations. Several Alpine tents were laid out as installation bays and stayed packed throughout the event. When the event wrapped it was High 5’s across the board.”
When the event wrapped teams gathered for a photo op in front of the wall of empty Alpine Restyle system boxes.
The Alpine Jeep blasted through the wall of empty Alpine Restyle system boxes to wrap the 2023 Smokey Mountain Jeep Invasion Alpine Experience.
Peter Ruiz led his Soundwaves Team of 10 to Pigeon Forge. The Team was comprised of 2 on the sales side and 8 installation tech. Ruiz offered “We drove up in 2 vehicles to Pigeon Forge in a Suburban and Excursion with one pulling a 5’x8’ trainer filled with tools, installation kits and supplies. We all stayed very busy throughout the time at the event. After the event wrapped we totaled 75 installations. Forty-four of those installations were Alpine Restyle systems. We definitely exceeded our goal. In fact we had another truck make a speed trip up after the first day’s sales were so strong.”
A video of the Jeep going through the wall of boxes.
Concluding Ruiz stated “We saved all the large Restyle system empty boxes and stacked them as a wall for team photo ops. After the photo ops when the event wrapped we had a Jeep drive right through the wall of Restyle boxes. That was plenty to fill a bunch of dumpsters!”
A return trip for the 12th Annual Great Smokey Mountain Jeep Club Invasion is definitely on the 2024 horizon.

CHESHIRE, UK (09.01.23) – In April 2023, In Car Products Limited ended their UK distribution of CTK Sound Deadening. This was due to several issues with the supplier relationship and the overall future plans and road map for CTK in the UK.
Director, Daniel Molyneux said “Unfortunately after three years of being the UK Distributor for CTK Sound Deadening, which is manufactured in Ukraine, our relationship became strained and the uncertainty of the brand and decisions that were being made led to a change in our approach.”
The ‘PRO’ HQ facility in Cheshire UK has ‘PRO’ Sound Deadening products in stock.
Continuing “Therefore, we escalated future plans of our own brand and have brought ‘PRO’ to the Market, working with clients in the UK and Europe. I am proud of our brand ‘PRO’ with stock hitting the UK warehouse based in Cheshire at the start of August.”
The wide selection of ‘PRO’ Sound Deadening products displayed.
Director, Gary Molyneux and UK Sales Manager, Mike Keenan related “We are proud of ‘PRO’ as it is the future of Sound Deadening and Thermal Insulation not only for automotive, but marine, industrial, commercial and more. It has no limits. The brand brings a very sleek and professional style and will deliver great results for our customers moving forward.”
Gary also stated “Mike has a wealth of experience and knowledge to drive and help bring the ‘PRO’ brand initially to the UK market with a determination to also work with our growing customer base across Europe. Already in a short space of time the ‘PRO’ products have been received well, and taken on board by some major players in the automotive industry including installers and distribution partners with announcements to be released in the coming month.”

DIAMOND BAR, CA (08.31.23) – Volunteering can be a fulfilling and enriching experience for any professional looking to give back to the industry and the causes they care most about. For SEMA volunteers, it’s a way to get more involved in the aftermarket at large, contribute to the growth of their trade and develop new friendships and lasting memories in the process.
The nine communities in the SEMA Council and Network program have open volunteer positions within their subcommittees and task forces. Subcommittee and task force volunteers play a valuable role in helping council and network leadership create and execute meaningful programs that help their members succeed.
Many positions require minimal time (as little as one hour per month) and can work around the volunteers’ schedules.
“The professional relationships and friendships I have developed in the 10 years of volunteering with SEMA are some of the most important in my career,” reflected Amy Fitzgerald of Cool Hand Customs. “I am more confident, more knowledgeable and more comfortable with my industry and my peers.”
Opportunities are available in areas such as communications, events, education, membership, SEMA Show and council- and network-specific programs–allowing individuals to align their contributions with what they are most passionate about.
“Through the SEMA Businesswomen’s Network, I have had the opportunity to work on different subtasks, such as communications and events, to help expand my skill set and allow me more experience than what my usual job offers,” said Aliceje Keyburn of Yamaha Motor Corporation. “I’ve also attended different virtual events, live chats and leadership conferences that have been very beneficial in giving me practical tips and advice on how to help grow and advance my career, and also in dealing with certain situations within the workplace.”
Doug Frymer of the Law Office of Douglas A. Frymer, added, “Being in SEMA since I was 26 years old and in the Young Executives Network (now the Future Leaders Network) as part of a member company gave me a whole second crew of folks I’ve grown up within the industry. This catapulted me into what is now the Wheel & Tire Council, and involvement in the Automotive Restoration Market Organization, Hot Rod Industry Alliance and Import Performance Committee/Sport Performance Council (now the Emerging Trends & Technology Network). This gave me a whole second family, a network and a set of advice, opinions, mentors and camaraderie apart from the legal world.”
