PPG Names TASCO Auto Color Platinum Distributor of the Year

Tom Ferguson, president of TASCO Auto Color, accepted the award from John Leavy, director of platinum program for PPG. The award is presented annually to the Platinum Distributor who has shown consistent sales growth based on dollars and percentage, maintains Platinum Plus status, and utilizes the Platinum Program offerings.

Ferguson joined the automotive aftermarket industry immediately after graduating from high school, working with his mother and step-father in their distribution store. In 1972, he started his own distribution business. Then, in 1982, Ferguson merged the two businesses to form the present company, TASCO. TASCO now has over 80 employees and has grown to include 13 regional locations that serve the Houston and Austin, Texas areas, as well as South East Texas and parts of Louisiana.

In 1994, Ferguson was one of the original 14 distributors who initially formed the Platinum Distributor Network, and was among the first members to serve on the first Platinum Council.

“The Platinum program has been a tremendous benefit to our business and has contributed greatly to our success,” said Ferguson. “I am especially impressed with the variety of useful and informative training programs PPG offers. They are well thought out and well presented by experienced instructors. When you have a great group of employees dedicated to the success of the business and excellent training programs to help them learn best business practices, you have a winning combination.”

According to Leavy, “The Platinum Program was created as a support mechanism and loyalty program for our single-line distributors with the ultimate goal of providing exceptional service and benefits for our refinish customers. We are very proud of TASCO Auto Color, Tom Ferguson and his organization, as they have more than met the goals we set to select our Platinum Distributor of the Year. We’re very proud to have him in the program.”
