Andreani & Öhlins- 20 years of partnership
Pesaro, Italy based Andreani Group is celebrating a milestone – 20 years as the Italian distributor for Ohlins Suspension products. A partnership that was founded on the shared vision of founders Kent Öhlin and Giuseppe Andreani, the relationship brought a level of service and support to the Swedish made suspension systems that has seen Öhlins-branded products establish market leadership in Italy, just as they have in many other international markets. The Öhlins brand is widely used in leading racing championships such as MotoGP, World SuperBike and Formula 1 and installed as OEM equipment by major two- and four-wheel manufacturers. " Over the past two decades, the synergy between our two companies has played a decisive role in raising
performance standards and providing highly qualified technical support both in the world’ s top motorsport paddocks and in the aftermarket," says Giuseppe Andreani, CEO & Founder of Andreani Group, " This constant commitment has steadily reinforced the leadership of both companies in their respective markets. Our synergy is built on the passion that unites us, something far more powerful than a mere economic collaboration." As the European motorcycle market geared up for EICMA, Robert Brinkmark( Director- Sales, Marketing & Product Management at Öhlins Group AB said that " Celebrating 20 years of partnership is more than marking a milestone. " It’ s a tribute to the trust, collaboration, and shared passion that have driven our journey together. From the racetrack to the aftermarket, Andreani has been a vital part of our success story, helping us push boundaries, deliver performance, and serve customers with excellence." Suspension excellence runs deep in former racer Guiseppe Andreani ' s business. An international reputation for training suspension programmes and an unequalled range of suspension workshop equipment and tools has made Andreani an international ' go to ' resource with distribution coverage extending to markets such as Spain and Portugal through the Andreani MHS subsidiary, North America via Andreani USA Inc. and several Easter European markets, including Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Turkey. www. andreanigroup. com www. ohlins. com
