Specialty Lubricants Trading Sdn Bhd has announced a major step forward for the renowned French motorcycle lubricant brand. The company has appointed MKA Group as Ipone’s official distributor for Peninsular Malaysia—a partnership that marks a pivotal moment in Ipone’s mission to strengthen its presence across the country.

For more than four decades, Ipone has built its reputation on premium motorcycle lubricants engineered for performance, reliability, and protection. From engine oils to careline and maintenance products, the brand is trusted by riders worldwide. Now, with MKA Group’s extensive distribution capabilities, Ipone is set to become even more accessible to Malaysian motorcyclists seeking top-tier lubrication solutions.

MKA Group brings over 30 years of experience in Malaysia’s automotive landscape, supported by a workforce of more than 550 employees and a modern, strategically located warehouse facility. Their nationwide infrastructure and strong commitment to service excellence make them a natural fit for expanding Ipone’s reach across Peninsular Malaysia. Retailers and end-users alike can expect improved availability and faster access to the brand’s full product lineup.

Ravi Shankar, General Manager for Motul Malaysia, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration. “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, we are confident that riders across 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.”

The partnership also resonates deeply with MKA Group. Director Doc Dol highlighted the alignment of values between the two companies: “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.”

As Malaysia’s motorcycle market continues to expand, demand for high-quality lubricants is on the rise. Ipone’s appointment of MKA Group reflects a long-term commitment to supporting this growth by ensuring riders have convenient access to products that deliver both performance and protection.
