Scoles Named President of QA1

July 17, 2013
QA1, an industry leader in performance shocks, rod ends and suspension components for motorsports, is excited to announce the promotion of Melissa Scoles to president. CEO and Founder Jim Jordan announced the news, stating “QA1 is fortunate to have someone with Melissa's broad skillsets to assume this position within the company.”

Scoles has been associated with QA1 since she was a teenager, as Jordan is her father. She started at the company folding boxes and worked the company’s trade shows during college. She then worked through every department at the company, taking a break to get outside experience and attain her MBA from Carlson School of Management. She studied in both Europe and Asia while earning her degrees. When she returned in January of 2011, she joined the QA1 team again as vice president of marketing, to be quickly promoted to executive vice president and now president.

In the past couple of years, Scoles has helped lead the company to several milestones. She oversaw the acquisition of CAP Auto Products and Edelbrock’s Suspension Division, adding over 350 American-made suspension products to QA1’s product offering. She has also been integral in organizing QA1’s new Composite Component Group, which will be introducing a variety of carbon fiber filament wound products to the market for late 2013 and 2014. Currently, she is leading a project to expand QA1’s manufacturing space to accommodate the company’s growth over the past couple of years.

QA1 is excited about the future with Scoles leading the way. Her extensive knowledge of the performance automotive and various industrial markets puts QA1 in great hands. She knows and understands the value of the QA1 team and genuinely values each employee and customer.
