Representing JE Pistons/K1 Technologies/ProX/Wiseco were Sean Crawford (back middle), vice president of marketing and business development, and John Ohradzansky (right), sales. “We were pleasantly surprised with all the activity we had at our booth,” Ohradzansky said. “The Australians were very excited to talk with us. The energy level was high, and it was a great event for us.”

Join SEMA for the bi-annual SEMA Australia Regional Business Development Conference, May 9–13, in Melbourne. Meet with pre-vetted trade buyers in this market identified as the second most important global export market for U.S.-based SEMA-member manufacturers.
