Avon Lake, Ohio based sound and heat management specialist Design Engineering Inc., (DEI), noted for its motorcycle exhaust wrap among other sound and heat shielding products, has announced Brad Bricker as its new VP Sales & Marketing.

Indian conglomerate Eicher Motors, the parent company of Royal Enfield, has entered into a "collaboration" with Barcelona, Spain based Stark Future SL - a well respected and fast growing electric PTW manufacturer - with an (initial) € 50m investment for an approx. 10.35% equity stake. The deal gives it a seat on the board, no doubt, "first dibs" on new product. Stark's recently launched 'VARG' has been well received by reviewers.
