Ipone, the French motorcycle lubricant specialist known for its performance-focused engine oils and care products, is set to strengthen its reach across Malaysia with the appointment of MKA Group as its official distributor in Peninsular Malaysia. The partnership is spearheaded by Specialty Lubricants Trading Sdn Bhd, Ipone’s principal in Malaysia, and marks a key step in broadening the brand’s accessibility to local riders.
Ipone — long recognised for its high-quality lubricants engineered specifically for motorcycles — will gain a major boost through MKA Group’s expansive distribution capabilities, allowing its full range of engine oils, careline products and maintenance items to be made widely available to both retailers and end consumers throughout the peninsula.
Stronger Market Presence Through Local Expertise
With over 30 years of experience, a workforce of more than 550 employees, and a modern warehouse facility in Puchong, MKA Group is an established force in Malaysia’s automotive distribution landscape. Its nationwide presence and strong dealer relationships make it well-positioned to support Ipone’s wider ambitions.
Ravi Shankar, General Manager for Motul Malaysia, said, “Ipone’s expansion into Peninsular Malaysia through MKA Group marks an important milestone in the brand’s journey locally. As a brand that has always stayed true to its passion for motorcycling, Ipone brings a unique energy to the market, one that celebrates performance, lifestyle, and innovation. With MKA Group’s deep local expertise and established presence across Malaysia, we are confident that riders across the Peninsular Malaysia will now have better access to Ipone’s products, and an opportunity to experience the quality and spirit that have defined the brand for 40 years.”
Ipone’s decision to work with MKA Group reinforces its commitment to partnering with organisations that possess deep operational knowledge and the infrastructure required to support sustainable, long-term growth.
Shared Values, Shared Ambitions
Doc Dol, Director of MKA Group, added, “This partnership with Ipone marks a proud milestone for MKA Group as we take on the responsibility of representing such a trusted name in motorcycle lubricants. It is a collaboration built on shared values – innovation, reliability, and passion for motorcycling excellence. Through our established network and deep roots across Peninsular Malaysia, we aim to bring Ipone’s premium range of lubricants and care products to more riders throughout the nation. This signing signifies not only a strong business partnership but also our long-term commitment to supporting local dealers and riders with world-class quality and service.”
Enhancing Ipone’s Presence in Malaysia
This partnership further aligns Ipone with Malaysia’s fast-growing two-wheel market, where demand for premium lubricants and motorcycle care products continues to rise. MKA Group’s operations hub at No. 40, Jalan TPP5, Taman Perindustrian Putra, 47130 Puchong, Selangor, will support distribution nationwide, supplying the complete Ipone portfolio to retailers and riders seeking trusted performance and protection.
