Auto parts manufacturer Universal Automotive Industries today announced the appointment of Lisa J. Kusluski as director of supply chain, a newly created position.

Kusluski will oversee the company’s purchasing department, among other responsibilities and will report directly to Phil Zettel, the vice president of supply chain and operations.

“Building an experienced and professional supply chain management team will help improve profitability and is a key component of our integration process,” Zettel said in a statement. “The addition of Lisa, with her accomplished background as a buyer and supply chain analyst, is an important part of that effort.”

Prior to joining Universal Automotive, Kusluski worked for Delphi Product & Service Solutions, most recently as a buyer in its automotive aftermarket division, and earlier, as a supply chain analyst and customer service coordinator. Previously, she was a customs classification specialist for PriceWaterhouseCoopers’ World Management Trade group, working with automotive parts and other commodities.

Universal Automotive Industries distributes and manufactures brake rotors and other brake parts under its trademarks Autospecialty, Evolution and Ultimate in the United States and Canada and under its proprietary Autospecialty, ValuMaxx and PowerStop brands. The company also provides TRW-branded brake rotors and drums and suspension products.
