Over 1,400 enthusiasts attended the grand opening of German specialist’s SIP Scootershop new 6,000 sq m headquarters facility in May.
Highlights included in-house dyno testing, tours of the extensive inventory in the new warehouse, demonstrations of the firm’s state-of-the art order processing and dispatch systems, music, fun and food!
Founders Alex Barth and Ralf Jodl, Vespa enthusiasts to the core, started out by making their own parts in response to what was poor availability of the items they wanted at the time, and by 1994 they had become a fixture at scooter runs and brought their first catalogue out in 1996.
The company has grown almost continuously since it opened for business 22 years ago, and has expanded and moved several times until now being able to create their own bespoke facility dedicated to the scooter and related parts and performance markets.
Visitors came from as far away as Russia, France, Italy, Vietnam and even India, and Ralf, Alex and their dedicated team can be rightly proud of what they have achieved, and of the new architect designed palace of scooter loveliness that will serve their international customer base for years to come.
The company carries more than 24,000 scooter parts and lifestyle items in stock at any one time, and with a multi-lingual sales staff, the company is able to dispatch most orders on a same day basis.
