Carlos Travé joins LIQUI MOLY
VETERAN oil industry specialist
Carlos Travé has joined leading
German oil and lubricant
manufacturer LIQUI MOLY as
General Manager of their two
wheel business division.
Formerly with Motorex, Custom
Chrome and Panolin among
others, Travé marks a deliberate
attempt by LIQUI MOLY to make
a statement about their
motorcycle and wider
powersports industry market
share.
“I am delighted to have been
able to join such a prestigious
company”, Carlos told IDN at
EICMA in November. “Although
the brand is very well known in
Germany, in both automotive

and motorcycle terms, outside
of the German speaking
countries a lot of people in the
motorcycle industry just don’t
realise that LIQUI MOLY is the
number one oil brand in
Germany.
“I see my primary mission in
this new appointment as one to
develop the profile and market
share for the business in the
motorcycle industry, both in
Germany and internationally”.

Another date and venue change for JPMS 2014
ORIGINALLY planned for Marseille in
February 2014, French motorcycle
industry expo JPMS (formerly held in
Lyon, France, each year) has
announced another change of venue
and timing.
Market conditions and the

resulting business uncertainty
among the event’s exhibitor
community has resulted in a decision
by the organisers to seek a new date
towards the end of 2014 on which
to move the show to Paris.
Full details will be confirmed in

the first quarter of 2014.
After dialogue with exhibitors and
visitors it is felt that the date change
and move to Paris will offer the best
possible business opportunity under
the current economic conditions in
France.
