MORACO - 50th anniversary
Founded in 1973, French distributor MORACO is one of Europe's longest established and largest parts and accessory distributors.
These days, MORACO is a 100 percent subsidiary of the SGR Group - Società Generale Ricambi - in Italy, along with Langenscheidt in Germany and Euro85 in Spain.
"One of the European leaders in the distribution of parts for motorcycles and scooters, MORACO continues its expansion by strengthening its product offer, its teams and its logistics and IT tools in order to bring dealers the best service to professionals in the sector".
MORACO boasts over one million items in stock at any one time and sells many of the market's leading brands - from Putoline to MIW Filters, Kellermann, SBS and Supersprox to D.I.D, AFAM, K&N, SP Connect, All Balls Racing (ABR), Athena, Polini, TecMate and both KYB and YSS suspension.
SGR Group Chairman Andréa Saporetti was quoted recently as saying that "the SGR Group is one of the ever-declining number of independent family-owned distribution businesses in the European motorcycle aftermarket.
"It is now ranked 3rd in the European market for the distribution of parts and accessories for motorcycles and scooters and doubled its turnover over the last ten years.
"The focus of each of the group businesses is on a selection of brands with high added value and the development of ever-more efficient logistics and IT systems in order to provide a quality service to dealers.
"The DNA of the group is to create close, long-term relationships with its 6,500 customers. We go beyond our core business as a distributor by actively supporting riders, teams and motorcycle competitions in Europe. Indeed, the group has been able to create a unique position as a 'partner of choice' for itself in the powered two-wheeler world by associating itself with major events in the motorcycle industry, such as the Dakar."
