Who We Are
GFGM Marketing is an independent manufacturer’s representative and sales agency specializing in the Canadian automotive aftermarket and heavy-duty parts industry. Headquartered in Terrebonne, Quebec, we give manufacturers access to leading automotive and heavy-duty parts distributors, retailers and industry partners across Canada.
We go beyond generating sales: our team acts as an extension of our clients’ sales teams, developing distributor relationships, supporting key accounts and identifying new business opportunities to build sustainable growth across the Canadian market.
Our history
Founded in 1992, GFGM Marketing owes its beginnings to Glen Fugere. The company started as a sales agency representing suppliers of automotive replacement parts, truck parts and accessories across Eastern Canada.
In 2017, Philippe Emond acquired GFGM Marketing and became the company’s owner. Philippe had previously worked for more than 12 years as an account manager in the automotive aftermarket parts industry, gaining extensive experience in account management, sales development and the day-to-day challenges of building profitable and sustainable business relationships.
Since then, GFGM Marketing has continued to expand its manufacturer representation services and distribution network across Canada, helping manufacturers develop sales, new accounts and long-term relationships with Canadian distributors.
