NF Importers has announced that 2014 marks the company’s 50th year as a Ducati distributor, which commenced in 1964.

During the recent Ducati Global Dealer Conference in Sorrento, Italy, the milestone relationship between Ducati and NF Importers was acknowledged and celebrated with a very special presentation by Ducati Motor Holding CEO, Claudio Domenicali, and vice president sales and marketing, Cristiano Silei, awarding Warren Fraser (MD) and Warren Lee (CEO) with a commemorative plaque, notably and suitably constructed of high-tech materials.

“It was a very special and proud moment for Warren Fraser and myself,” said Warren Lee, CEO NF Importers/Ducati Australia and New Zealand. “Warren and I naturally have had a very long and passionate involvement with Ducati where we have seen the company and brand evolve to where it is today, as the most exciting and dynamic in the industry.

“To be recognised for this milestone by Claudio and Cristiano and to share the moment with our global Ducati dealer family was as I say, something very special and we must also sincerely thank our dedicated and passionate company staff, our dealers and most importantly our thousands of valued customers.”

With Ducati motorcycles now being distributed through 85 countries worldwide, the 50-year relationship between Ducati and NF Importers is the longest in Ducati history.

During the conference Ducati and NF Importers also took the opportunity to renew the milestone relationship by re-signing the next five-year distribution contract between the two companies.
