Jason Dreger has spent his career in the automotive industry, which made him the perfect fit as the new
Aftermarket Product Manager for PHINIA’s Delco Remy brand.
“I love this industry, and now I get to represent a brand that’s been around 125 years,” he says. “You must be doing something right to have that longevity in this industry.”
Dreger immediately came to understand that the people are a huge part of what the brand does right.
“It’s simply amazing how much experience this team brings to customers. Many of my colleagues have been with the company for 20+ years. There’s so much knowledge to lean on,” he says.
And he’s been doing just that as he traveled to meet members of the engineering and sales team to gain a deeper understanding of the Delco Remy starters and alternators footprint.
“In this role, I’m managing the life cycle of the product line, working closely with the sales team to meet customer requests,” Dreger says. “We want to ensure we can provide customers with quality products they can rely on. These visits are helping me learn as I look for ways to make our customers’ lives easier and grow the business.”
Before joining PHINIA, Dreger, who is based in Auburn Hills, Michigan, gained product management experience in multiple automotive channels. He worked for Federal Mogul Holdings (Fel-Pro engine gaskets), Freudenberg Sealing Technologies (Corteco), Cequent Performance Products (trailer products) and Lumileds (Philips Automotive). With experience in e-commerce, installer, dealer, distribution, and international and industrial sales markets, he’s sure to be an asset to the heavy duty market as well.
“Delco Remy starters and alternators are the market leader, and I’m grateful to represent such a well recognized and well-thought-of brand,” he says.
Girl Dad and Die-Hard Lions Fan
Outside of work, Dreger loves being a girl dad, with three daughters ages 9, 11 and 21. He can be found coaching his youngest in basketball, running his middle daughter to one of her multiple sports activities, or prepping his oldest for life after college. In the fall, Dreger is catching football games whenever he can. He’s a huge fan of college football and his hometown pro team, the Detroit Lions.
