PASSION for Italian
This month we ‘focus on’ Stein Dinse, a German company which helps us to look after our Italian motorcycles.
This year, Stein Dinse celebrates 35 years in business. Formed by Hans-dieter Stein way back in 1983, Stein Dinse has made a name for itself selling top-quality products specialising in the classic Italian machines we love so much. Based near Brunswick in northern Germany, the Italian parts specialist is a huge concern. Today they sell more than 40,000 different products from more than 200 suppliers from a 7000sq m (70,000sq ft) warehouse facility that is 100% dedicated to the ‘Passion for Italian’. Specifically, this is a passion for all things Moto Guzzi, Ducati and Aprilia – with a dash of MV Agusta thrown in for good measure! Not just ‘late-model’ parts either – the company sells hundreds, in fact thousands of parts for older models, especially Moto Guzzi models, that are just not available from anyone else, anywhere. Stein Dinse is by far the world’s largest spare part and accessory seller for these top Italian brands, but don’t worry that they’re based in Germany – if you want to order then you’ll find not only do they have knowledgeable staff, they do even have a ‘native’ speaker so you can rest assured that you’ll get the part you need for your Italian classic. Hans-dieter is still (ahem) ‘hands on’ even after more than three decades. He says: “For older models, we offer several spare parts and accessories, which are completely sold out in the market or no longer available. It may happen that there is a missing part in our range, but since we are deeply engaged with preservation of old machines, we can always ask our alternative suppliers. Through the decades we have continuously developed the trading of components and spare parts for the great Italian brands Ducati and Moto Guzzi. Meanwhile, we are the official importer for Dellorto, Brembo, Mistral and Unibat, offering almost every spare part for current Italian models too. We sell to dealers and to enthusiasts, and in addition to our catalogue, we offer our entire range, including many specialty service and repair replacement spare parts and components online too – with excellent shipping to all European destinations and beyond and orders placed up to 4pm usually being shipped the same day. In fact, despite regular maintenance and revision, we are getting ready for another major upgrade and relaunch of our e-commerce platform this year with even better functionality and help for our customers.” So what does Stein Dinse sell? Well, the available products stretches from replacement engine and service components such as filters, pads, tyres, oil and gaskets, to exhausts, brake lines, luggage and luggage carriers, calipers, discs as well as bike clothing and helmets.
