GasGas Structure Changes In North America

[Mark Berg - CPD]

Gas Gas Motos North America is excited to announce many new changes for the North American Continent in the months and years to come!

Torrot Electric Europa (New parent company of GasGas) has created a new subsidiary in the United States named Torrot NA Inc. This new company will have two branches of operation while still working in some fields together as one.

GGMNA will have a new head office in California to oversee Gas Gas enduro and trial sales while distribution of parts, garments and accessories will be merged into a new larger facility in Watertown, SD. These logistic changes alone will help give Gas Gas and its parent company an opportunity to brand the name, grow its dealership network along with helping the customer obtain parts for any of his or her Gas Gas fleet from one supported dealership!

GGMNA is excited to be covering Canada as well, effective April 1st, 2016 for both trials and enduro! Unit distribution will come out of Toronto, Canada while PG &A support will come from the Watertown, SD for the immediate future.

Rod Overstreet is our National Sales Manager for enduro/trials/Torrot products and will be covering Canada as well, until we are ready to hire a Canadian Sales Manager. New staff have been hired and new logistics software has been purchased to support the new warehouse which starts operations May 1st.

Gas Gas USA (Current trials) will distribute the first container of trials due to contractual agreements. After the first container, Mr Malesek will continue to be involved with Gas Gas in a new role.

I would like to personally thank Dale Malesek for his 20 plus years as trials distributor for the US market and look forward to working with him at the trials events as he continues to support Gas Gas and competes in the national competitions! Please, if you have the chance, meet him and thank him for all the years of work!

Jim Snell as well has been a vital and key role to GasGas's success here in the US. His video's, knowledge, and mechanical expertise will be greatly missed and it will be very difficult to find someone to fill his role! The best of future wishes for Rising Sun Imports!

Torrot realizes the potential in North America and its an exciting time for Gas Gas in North America!

Do these changes include transferring gasgas.com domain to GasGas Motos or GGMNA?

Definitely exciting times

Mark - any chance you can expand on the decision to put the head office in CA? More curious than anything, would have thought something like that might be in the midwest neck of the woods given your location.

Super cool regardless, so great to see Torrot getting infrastructure in place for future GG growth

Thank you for keeping us up to date Mark. What will be your role in the future?

Shocking...of all places West Coast...California! WOW would have NEVER seen that coming! So, is the writing on the wall for a push for more California dealers??

Sure hope so!!!

Good luck gents!!! You guys have been through the good, bad and ugly!! Looking forward to hearing more!

Well done!

Very cool to have Rod involved in Canadian sales (even though it's more on his plate for now). Personally, I'm glad to have some facet of GasGas back in Ontario too.

All the best Mark.
