Kim Quick

Simply put, OEM automotive electronics has been Kim Quick’s passion since graduating from Purdue and his first job at GM—where he spent 14 years honing his talents, sharpening his business acumen—and absorbing valuable business intel. During his tenure at General Motors, Kim held positions in an incredible breadth and diversity of disciplines: manufacturing; industrial engineering; business planning; field service engineering; field sales management; and Public Relations.

This rich experience gave Kim a uniquely panoramic perspective and intelligence when it came to auto electronics remanufacturing. It was what emboldened him to embark on his journey as an entrepreneur and invest in the company that he ultimately came to own. Because of his leadership, AER is today the only automotive electronics remanufacturer in America that serves all of “Big Three” automobile manufacturers: Ford, GM, and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. A singular achievement.

Kim holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Management from Purdue University and joined AER as Shareholder in 1987. He became sole owner in 1999 and continues contributing his deep expertise and long experience today, as Chief Executive Officer. Kim enjoys spending free time with his granddaughters and family.
