Youthstream are pleased to announce that Wössner, a leading manufacturer of forged pistons, will be an advertising partner for the 2016 FIM Motocross World Championship season. As a partner of MXGP, the brand Wössner will be visible to the public and MXGP’s extensive television audience.
The brand ‘Wössner’ has a long history in motorsport, Eckart Wössner, the company owner and CEO, was a keen motorcycle racer himself and takes pride in his countless number of wins at national level.
Business began for Mr. Wössner in the 1980’s, in Weil am Rhein, Germany, when he became an exclusive importer of pistons from America, which he distributed across the country. It wasn’t until the 1990’s before he started the in-house production of his own high-performance forged pistons which ever-since have become increasingly popular worldwide.
In 2003 Wössner increased their production area in Germany by four times its former size and continued to expand with the establishment of Wössner USA in 2005, and Wössner Italia Srl in 2011.
