Murrieta, CA–WP Suspension is excited to announce the opening of its first American subsidiary–WP Suspension North America, Inc.–and with it, a network of WP Authorized Centers to satisfy the growing demand for WP products, parts and technical support in the US.

WP North America Business Development Manager Kyle Guglielmetti said that WP suspension components are the most advanced in the motorcycle industry, so it’s important to have a strong, elite network of WP Authorized Centers.

“These highly qualified suspension centers have skilled technicians who are trained to properly maintain WP equipment,” Guglielmetti said. “These centers will distribute WP’s premium motorsports suspension as well as spare parts for WP production suspension components.”
