Andreani UK Launches at Donington Park to Lead Öhlins Operations in the UK

At Donington Park on Friday, the launch of Andreani Group UK was officially announced. This marks a significant new chapter for the renowned Italian suspension specialist and its growing international presence.

From the 2026 season onwards, Andreani Group UK will assume responsibility as the official UK distributor for Öhlins Racing. The company will manage product sales, spare parts supply, and technical aftersales support throughout the British motorcycle market.

The new venture will oversee all commercial and racing activities for Öhlins Racing in the United Kingdom. It will also become the official UK distributor for the iconic suspension manufacturer. This move represents a major strategic expansion for Andreani. It further strengthens its position within the high-performance motorcycle and motorsport industry.

Already firmly established across Europe, Andreani has built an impressive reputation through its extensive technical expertise and strong industry relationships. Among its notable partnerships is its role as a supplier to the legendary VR46 Motor Ranch in Tavullia. This is the training ground made famous by Valentino Rossi and the VR46 Academy. They also have other notable members of the team, which includes former Moto3 rider Tatsuki Suzuki – who is now one of their riders and technicians. Cementing the idea of riders being a key element to progression.

The decision by Öhlins to entrust Andreani with such a strategically important role underlines the confidence the Swedish manufacturer has developed in the Italian group over recent years. Andreani is now widely recognised as one of the most authoritative and technically respected partners in the high-performance suspension sector. This includes both racing and road applications.

The announcement at Donington Park signals an exciting future for UK racers, teams, and riders. There are expectations of enhanced technical support, expanded racing involvement, and stronger access to Öhlins products and expertise across the British market.

Alongside its distribution duties, Andreani UK will also oversee Öhlins’ race support operations across the UK’s leading motorcycle championships and internationally recognised road racing events. Its involvement will extend from the British Superbike Championship to the Isle of Man TT. Furthermore, it will also include the North West 200 and the returning Ulster Grand Prix. The Ulster Grand Prix is set to make a comeback in 2027.

The appointment represents a major vote of confidence from Öhlins. The Swedish manufacturer has selected Andreani to oversee operations within one of the most important and demanding motorcycle markets in the world.

The decision comes following a strategic evaluation by Öhlins Group AB, aimed at strengthening the brand’s position in the UK and creating a more unified structure to support future expansion. With more than 40 years of experience in suspension distribution, technical servicing, and race support, Andreani has a partnership with Öhlins spanning over two decades.

Therefore, Andreani Group International emerged as the natural choice to lead the next phase of the brand’s UK presence. The Italian company has earned an international reputation for its technical expertise and strong paddock presence at the highest levels of motorcycle racing.

“The United Kingdom has always been a key market for us. Through Andreani UK we want to build a dedicated structure capable of delivering the same level of service, technical expertise and trackside presence that has characterised our work internationally for many years.” said Giuseppe Andreani, founder of Andreani Group.

Leading the new operation will be Nick Campolucci, who has been appointed Country Manager of Andreani UK. He brings over 25 years of experience within the automotive, motorcycle, and motorsport industries. Campolucci previously spent 17 years with Honda UK. During this time, he played an active role in the company’s British Superbike activities.

Supporting the transition will be Richard Brendish, founder of Race Concepts Ltd, the long-standing technical support provider for Öhlins within the British paddock. Having worked with the brand for more than 20 years, Brendish will continue to collaborate closely with Andreani UK. This will ensure a smooth handover and maintain continuity in technical and operational support.
