March 20, 201610 yr Mr. Snell, Thank you for providing clarity into what has occurred. It is a shame that you will not be allowed to continue representing GasGas. I completely understand the need for yourself and others to take on other brands during the GasGas financial difficulties. It is good to hear that you are able to continue to sell your current stock of parts. Good luck with TRS and may your business continue well into the future. oh and thanks for bringing the videos back.
April 6, 201610 yr From the Gas Gas forum. Total change for the trials side of things in North America. Jim and Dale are done as importers. GasGas Structure Changes In North America -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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! __________________ Mark Berg COO, Torrot NA Inc
