Immediately following a successful NVP (and the news that the show is moving to Milwaukee for 2024), LeMans Corporation announced Greg Matter has been named the new Drag Specialties National Sales Manager. “Greg and I both share a passion for the American V-Twin motorcycles and were fortunate to be part of some great dealerships early-on in our careers,” says LeMan’s VP of sales Jeff Derge.
“That dealership experience translates into understanding the market, the consumers, but most importantly understanding the needs of Drag Specialties Dealers and the great suppliers we do business with,” Derge adds. “Look forward to Greg’s leadership of the team into the future!”
With a life-long passion for American V-Twin motorcycles, Matter has worked in the industry for more than 20 years, starting in Harley-Davidson dealerships where he held parts manager and general manager positions. Looking to expand his knowledge of the industry, Greg joined the Lemans Corp. in 2006 as a Drag Specialties Sales Representative in the Phoenix and Tucson markets. After 16 years in Arizona, he accepted the position of Dual Regional Sales Manager for Parts Unlimited’s Central Region and returned to Wisconsin which also allowed him to be closer to his family and grandsons. Along with being closer to family, Matter says the opportunity allowed him to work out of the company’s global headquarters in Janesville, which has given him a better understanding of the business and insight into the company’s vision for the future.
“I am grateful for the opportunity to again work with the Drag Specialties team and dealer network,” says Matter. “I’m looking forward to the opportunities that lie ahead.”
