Starting today we are welcoming Finesse Max, led by Christian Stuck as the new general distributor for France. Our first and most successful distributor, Philippe Zen, will complete and deliver all current orders, however the distributorship for France including after-sales support, maintenance and service for all owners in France will be handled by Finesse Max in the most professional manner.
Philippe Zen of Zen ULM was the first who believed in Pipistrel's philosophy, became our first distributor and has sold the most aircraft among all our distributors. His success as a distributor is simply overwhelming and we will appreciate Philippe and his team staying close to Pipistrel in the future.
This is a personal note from Philippe himself:
Nous avons cédé la distribution PIPISTREL pour des raisons personnelles. Si nous avons choisi FINESSE MAX comme repreneur, c’est essentiellement pour son sérieux et la qualité de son service après-vente.
Je crois toujours que les productions PIPISTREL sont les meilleurs rapports performances-qualités-prix du marché ULM haut de gamme. Ce sont les aéronefs avec lesquels j’ai le plus de plaisir en vol.
Chers Clients, pour la plupart devenus amis: je ne vous laisse pas tomber et vous remercie encore. Je suis toujours à votre écoute. J’assure toujours les prises en main sur les ULM PIPISTREL, le service après-vente dans la limite de mon stock de pièces détachées et la livraison des machines en commande. Un dernier merci à Cécile, ma collaboratrice et compagne pour sa diplomatie naturelle et sa compétence générale.
ZEN ULM va se consacrer à la photo, entre autres, d’aéronefs en patrouille: si des constructeurs, importateurs ou magasines veulent nous contacter, nous restons à votre disposition.
Philippe Zen.
(adaptation in English: "We decided to discontinue distributing for Pipistrel for personal reasons. We chose FINESSE MAX as our sucessor because of their seriousness and quality of their after-sales service.I am still a strong believer in Pipistrel products and all reports show that these are best-performing advanced machines for a very competitive market price. Pipistrel aircraft make me the most happy as a pilot. Dear clients, most of you became true friends: I will not let you down and thank you again. I will always be there to listen. Until my stock lasts I will still provide after-sales service and deliver all aircraft that were ordered. A final thank you goes to you, Cecilia, my companiton and my collaborator. Your understanding and patience mean everything to me. ZEN ULM will devote themselves to photography and airborne survaillence; if manufacturers, importers or magazines wish to contact us, we will remain at your disposal" Philippe Zen)
