KATZKIN TAKES LEAD ROLE IN CUSTOM UPFIT PROGRAMS FOR MOPAR WITHIN JEEP BRAND – ALL-NEW GLADIATOR SHOWCASES KATZKIN LEATHER AT CHICAGO AUTO SHOW

'Why I Need Katzkin' Competition Offers Current Jeep Owners Chance to Win All-New Interior

CHICAGO – February 7, 2018 – When the nation's largest auto show kicks off later this week in Chicago – February 9-18th at McCormick Place – Katzkin Leather, will have a bold statement within the show's Mopar display – as the all-new Jeep Gladiator highlights a customized upfit interior package by Katzkin. The Sting Gray Gladiator shows off Katzkin's rich Tuscany Ink leather interior which is offset with the brand's 'hex tech' inserts and Lt.Tungsten contrast stitching, and is just one of the many customization choices by Katzkin one can receive throughout the Jeep/Mopar brand.

In addition, as a global leader in leather interior transformations, Katzkin will further boast its alignment with the Mopar brand by offering the chance to win an all-new interior for current Jeep owners through an Instagram promotion lead by Chicago's own resident car expert and beloved radio personality, Paul Brian and his automotive web-series partner, car expert, author, and television host, Lauren Fix, The Car Coach®, The competition highlights Katzkin's partnership with Mopar which has been in place since 2003, and will be open to all Jeep owners looking to upgrade their 2010 or newer Jeep model with a Katzkin leather interior and showcasing why they 'need Katzkin.'

According to Doug Johnson, director of OEM development for Katzkin, during the more than a decade-and-a-half partnership, the two brands together have supported nearly every product in the Mopar family ranging from the popular RAM Truck to the pavement-eating Dodge Charger – and for 2019 will specifically include the all-new Gladiator, as well as the popular Jeep Wrangler, RAM Truck, and Illinois-built Jeep Cherokee – a full range of involvement.

'Katzkin is the only custom-focused leather interior manufacturer partnered with OEMs and our Jeep-specific programs are only getting more creative,' said Johnson. 'We've had the opportunity to work with the Mopar and the FCA Design Team to create complete customization packages for consumers that include stitching patterns, multiple color selections, nameplate logos and unique textures that open the channels to a customer's true personality and blending it directly with the vehicle – it's a very exciting time.'

Brian and Fix will be announcing the Instagram competition on their popular YouTube-based web-series 'His Turn – Her Turn' and will run the promotion throughout the duration of the Chicago show. All entrants will need to provide a photo of their current Jeep interior and express why they 'need a new Katzkin interior' in their vehicle. One winner will be chosen to receive the new transformation, which will be done through a local restyler within their geographic location. All entries must include #katzkinjeep as a hashtag.
