27 06 2009

Miami, FL, June 18, 2009 – (Motor Sports Newswire) – Martin Racing Performance a supplier of OEM and Performance Scooter, ATV, and Go Kart parts will now be the source of CPI replacement parts in North America. CPI is a Taiwanese scooter manufacturer whose success in Europe translated into 50,000 units sold in 2008.

CPI has closed its US facilities and distribution point and will concentrate on selling vehicles direct to multiple distributors and US dealers from Taiwan without US offices, said Joel Martin president of MRP. Martin Racing Performance is solely dedicated to wholesale parts distribution and will not be handling the scooter sales only the parts sales.

“MRP saw this as a great opportunity to expand our dealer base and to capture more of the OEM parts business plus CPI can operate leaner without the expenses of a parts warehouse” Joel Martin said. “Over the years CPI sold over 12,000 units branded under the MuZ brand until 2003, under JAG Powersports, and eventually 10,000 pieces as CPI starting in 2005.”

Martin further commented “All the parts have been moved from the Dallas CPI USA headquarters to MRP and dealers can expect to see them on our website starting in July.”

So far in 2009 MRP has expanded by acquiring the QJ – Keeway Southeast distribution parts warehouse, the Diamo USA / LS Motorsports / Italjet USA parts warehouse, and CPI USA.

The company has OEM parts for Malaguti scooters of Italy, MH Spain, RX, Loncin, Lifan, Linhai, Zongshen, Wangye, MS UTVs, and CPI Taiwan. In addition the company distributes performance parts from Athena, Malossi, Turbo Kit, Innova, Vee Rubber, Duro, Bando, Gates, Powerlink, Posh, Maxxis, Namura, Scooter Ninja, Slipstreamer, and MRP.

Products carried by MRP can be obtain exclusively at select Motorcycle Dealerships and Repair Shops in the USA. MRP is the one stop wholesale ONLY scooter, buggy, and ATV parts distributor. For a list of retailers visit www.mrp-speed.com

MRP Renews 2009 Agreement with Zongshen of America Inc.

In order to meet the growing demands of the US market MRP has agreed to become the secondary supplier to all Zongshen and US Scooter dealers distributing first tier and secondary tier distribution of parts.

Currently the second largest source of Zongshen Scooter parts in the US - MRP is the only distributor to now be carrying parts for both the ZMD branded scooters and some of the newer Piaggio - Zongshen partnership scooters (New Piaggio scooters made by Zongshen)

MRP will continue to expand its relationship in the months of July and August 2009 you can expect to see new Zongshen 200cc and 250cc motorcycle, dirt, and scooter parts on the MRP site.

In some states they carry buggies, ATVs, scooters and many of these products are supplied by Zongshen to Baja Motorsports. The big box chain currently has approximately 6,000 service bays within over 560 retail stores located in 35 states and Puerto Rico.

Zongshen, MRP Sign Agreement

Thursday May 4, 2006

Martin Racing Performance (MRP), supplier of racing components for scooters, ATVs and go-karts, has signed a “Cooperation Agreement” with Zongshen America, Inc., a subsidiary of China's Chongqing Zongshen Motorcycle Group.

The deal will have MRP develop a wide-range of exclusive racing parts and accessories for Zongshen-built vehicles and have MRP offer dealers technical support. MRP also will assist with joint product development, suggesting changes to the Zongshen product line for entry to the U.S. dealer base.

To kick-off the agreement, Zongshen has agreed to provide MRP with its entire U.S. lineup, including its private-label models currently sold in the U.S. to nine other importers.

Zongshen America said the deal was designed to assist the company in entering the North American Market. Both companies are based in Doral, Fla.

“In order to meet the growing needs of the market and to make sure we expand our presence we are actively looking for new ways to keep the dealers satisfied,” said Cavan Chan, President of Zongshen America. "We are receiving a lot of requests from dealers due to the growing demand from customers looking for performance parts, and in China these parts don't exist, so having MRP as our neighbor in Miami is perfect."

“We are excited about the potential of this cooperation and the benefits that it represents for both groups,” said Joel Martin, President of MRP. Martin founded MRP in 2004, after changing the scope of his Malaguti USA import and distributorship.

Martin launched Italian-made Malaguti product in the U.S. in 2001 via various co-branded marketing campaigns. By 2003, he had built a retail base of 90 dealers and opened a 15,000 sq. ft. distribution center in Doral, Fla.

One year later, responding to rising costs in Italy, the fall of the U.S. dollar and increased market saturation of low-priced product from Asia, he felt he had to adapt to a changing market and began expanding his offerings to include other vehicle brands and aftermarket parts and accessories. The company name change occurred in May 2004.

Founded in 1992, the Chongqing Zongshen Motorcycle Group is composed of 52 totally-invested or share holding subsidiary companies. With more than 18,000 staff members, Zongshen Group's total assets exceed $500 million. Zongshen has manufacturing partnerships and agreements in place with Harley Davidson, Honda, Piaggio and several U.S. importers.

Martin Racing Performance purchases LS Motorsports parts

Powersports Business
Friday April 24, 2009

Martin Racing Performance (MRP) purchased parts from LS Motorsports, which distributed the Diamo brand in the United States, last week at auction. MRP said in a release Thursday that it wants to work with dealers in need of Diamo parts and has lowered its dealer minimums to aid smaller Diamo dealers.

“We are slowly adding Diamo parts to our Web site on a daily basis,” MRP President Joel Martin said in the release. “Having purchased the QJ distributor in Florida and the LS Motorsports - Diamo parts inventory we are in a unique position to help the industry in a time of need.”

To cater to smaller dealers that were previously working with QJ or LS Motorsports, MRP has lowered its minimum yearly requirements to be an active dealer to $200.

The company said the purchase of the distribution warehouses is leading to a change in MRP’s business model.

“In the past we have been known as mainly a performance parts source,” Martin said in the release, “but now our expansion has allowed us to claim a greater share of the OEM business.”

MRP’s business is separate from Precision Powersports, the new owner of the Diamo brand.
