The Mobile Electronics Specialists of America (MESA) buying/marketing group announced its vendor partners for the next two years.
Basically, the vendors remain the same and JL Audio, which withdrew from the group at the end of its contract, has not been replaced.
MESA Executive Director Ryan Gunter said there was no need to replace JL Audio (which was purchased by Garmin in late 2023).
“We want to support the vendors who have been supporting us throughout the years. Our current vendors have all the products and price points we need to have to be successful.”
MESA represents 174 members and 306 locations, with retail sales totaling $459 million.
Gunter said, “…We are proud to stand with partners who are authentic in their commitment to 12-volt retailers.”
He added, “As always, MESA will continue to prioritize shifting business to its vendor partners.”
In terms of the outlook for 2025, Gunter said he has a positive view for the year, although the first couple of months may be relatively slower.
Here are the MESA vendors for 2025-2026:
