Industry Veteran Scott Lukaitis Joins Engine Ice Management Team
Merritt Island FL, (January 1, 2017) – Engine Ice Hi-Performance Coolant, the premier choice for a powersports coolant and antifreeze, is pleased to announce the addition of industry veteran, Scott Lukaitis, to our management team effective January 1st. The timing of the addition coincides with the new year, often considered a starting point for renewal and improvement.
Lukaitis joins the company as the Chief Operating Officer and will work alongside company President and founder Dave Kimmey to expand the brand both domestically and worldwide. Lukaitis brings more than 25 years of powersports business experience to the company.
A lifelong member of the industry, Lukaitis managed the parts and accessory departments at several powersports dealers before taking a role as the global brand manager for Bel-Ray Lubricants in 2010. During his time at Bel-Ray, Lukaitis was instrumental in taking Bel-Ray as a “forgotten brand” to one of the most popular and prominent brands in the industry once again, returning it to the prestige it once held in the 70’s and 80’s. For the last year, under Bel-Ray’s new corporate umbrella, Calumet Specialty Products, Lukaitis managed shows and events for both Bel-Ray and its sister company, Royal Purple, keeping both brands at the front of their respective markets at shows and events around the world.
Lukaitis is also an accomplished photographer with his work published in many powersports industry publications and on the website, njmotocross.com, that he has run for years, keeping the history of motocross alive in his home state of New Jersey. He writes about the sport and powersports marketing on his personal site scottlukaitis.com and will contribute his thoughts as a blogger in 2017 to Powersports Business Magazine.
“I’m looking forward to this amazing opportunity with Dave and Engine Ice,” said Lukaitis. “The turn of the calendar to a new year is significant and a symbol of change and improvement for both myself and Engine Ice. Already recognized industry wide as the leader in high performance coolant and antifreeze, Engine Ice is a globally recognized brand and I look forward to helping it grow to the next level in 2017 and beyond. ”
“When I heard that Scott had his position at Bel-Ray vacated, a brand I have looked up to since my own racing days years ago, it was an automatic reaction to reach out to him immediately.” Said David A. Kimmey, President of CycleLogic Products, Inc., “I have known and been friends with Scott for years, and I saw the great job he did at Bel-Ray over the last few years, so he’s proven his value, and our ability to secure his services moving forward is truly an example of being in the “right place at the right time.”
