DES MOINES, IA (03.28.22) – “I am pleased to announce we have hired a new Territory
Manager for the Mountain States area. Ira comes to us from the Omaha area with extensive
retail background in 12-Volt. I look forward to personally introducing him in the territory in the
very near future!” – Tom Kolar, Vice President of Sales and Marketing – 12-Volt Division.
Ira has been in the 12-Volt industry for over 10 years managing a bay. One of the biggest joys
for Ira is seeing the smile on the customer’s face once an install is completed regardless if it
was a large or small job.

When Ira isn’t working, he is still involved with cars. “I enjoy rebuilding old cars in my spare
time in my garage or in a shop space.” He also enjoys traveling with his wife and kids whether
it is a quick road trip or cross-country journey.

“I’m looking forward to getting out and visiting the stores to meet new faces and start to build
strong partnerships with all of you very soon!” – Ira George – Territory Sales Manager –
Omaha, Nebraska.
