“Christopher is the perfect individual to lead this company into the future,” says Scott Sulprizio. “Christopher has spent the last seven years immersed in every aspect of our piston business bringing 21st-century technology to a 100-year-old company. His efforts to improve the customer interface experience with the company are paying huge dividends. He is not only the logical choice for president, but has proven to be the best individual.

“It is also appropriate that on the 100-year anniversary of our family business, we can enlist the skills of a fourth generation Sulprizio to successfully carry us forward!” Additionally, he feels that the three past presidents and founder of the company (Deuta, Radium and Keith Sulprizio) would all look at this appointment as a very positive step for United Engine’s future.

Scott will remain involved as UEM owner, leveraging his 49 years of experience and solid customer relationships. He will also stay actively engaged in the operational facets of the business. Christopher, his wife Natalia and their two daughters will remain in Carson City, NV and be based out of the UEM headquarters.
