2000 SEMA Hall Of Fame Inductee
Jim Borre
Manik Motors
Borré got his start more than 40 years ago as a teenage counterman at a neighborhood auto parts store. To this day he admits to a passion for cars of any kind. It’s an infatuation he traces to his boyhood years, and that, he says, is what has always influenced his career choices. From the parts counter to management roles, Borré advanced to president of Sperex VHT Corp., a position he held for 17 years. Today, Borré is the CEO of Manik Motors, a major national supplier of truck accessories.
Borré’s affiliation with SEMA spans many, many years. He has held a seat on the SEMA Board of Directors, been on the executive committee, been active in the Professional Restylers Organization (PRO) and he has been a major contributor to the progress and growth of the SEMA Scholarship Fund.
