In addition to innovation, Gold Eagle Co. emphasizes balance, commitment, customer focus, integrity and quality. The six elements collectively represent the company's core values, which have been part of the company culture since it opened in 1932.

"The speed of change is only accelerating, and our core values have kept us steadfast as a company throughout our 90-year history," Blackman said. "At times like these, companies have to be innovative in everything they do," he added.

Obtaining lifetime trustee status with UAF is one way Gold Eagle Co. plans to invest in the future of the automotive aftermarket industry. The company is thrilled to provide financial resources that will help secure scholarships and educational opportunities for the next generation of aftermarket professionals.

"On behalf of the University of Aftermarket Foundation, I want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone at Gold Eagle for this generous contribution," said Bob Egan, UAF President.
