EPARTRADE Appoints Industry Icon and AEM Chief Engineer John Concialdi to Advisory Board as Technical Advisor

EPARTRADE is excited to announce that John “JC” Concialdi has accepted an invitation to join the company’s Advisory Board as a Technical Advisor. In this volunteer role, Concialdi’s mission is to assist EPARTRADE with conceptualizing and delivering new features for the platform to provide the very best B2B experience for both suppliers and buyers.  

 

“I'm honored to contribute to the EPARTRADE group as a Technical Advisor. I’ve used the platform as a resource since it went live, for both AEM Performance Electronics and also researching products for my personal projects. I believe in the platform, and I think that how it connects the industry 24/7 in real-time, is our future. I also like that it was built by people with decades of experience in the industry on the product side and with the PRI Show,” stated JC. “The racing, performance and hot rod markets are at a crossroads, with more emphasis on sustainable racing in the future. I believe that in much the same way AEM is positioning itself to be a leader in sustainable racing being, the EPARTRADE platform is leading the industry into the future for B2B interactions.”  

 

“Since EPARTRADE’s inception, JC has commented on the convenience and ease of use of the platform, and over the years has offered suggestions to improve it,” stated Francisque Savinien, CEO and Founder of EPARTRADE, “In fact, our tech webinar series is something he really pushed for and is now one of our most popular and anticipated events with over 220 webinars and a dedicated Industry Week. His technical acumen speaks for itself, and he uses EPARTRADE from both the buying and selling sides. This experience puts JC in a unique position to see how the platform intertwines from both sides. When you combine these factors, we are confident that JC will help us to conceive features that will excite both buyers and sellers and keep EPARTRADE ahead of the competition in the B2B performance and racing market.” 

 

Concialdi is an industry pioneer. During his early days developing high-performance carburetors for off-road racers, he developed the first performance carburetor to receive a CARB EO while at Redline Performance. In the beginning of the import performance movement, after founding AEM, he tuned and fabricated products for the first Honda to go 11 seconds in the quarter mile and created the first cold air intake design and adjustable cam gear for Honda, Mitsubishi, and Toyotas. John co-developed the Series 1 Programmable EMS, which was the first standalone ECU to plug into a vehicle's factory wiring harness. He designed and developed the first oil-free high-flow air filtration media for the automotive aftermarket. He created and directed the fuel delivery product line of AEM and developed an affordable high-flow fuel pump line that is alcohol-compatible before they were common in the market. Recently, John redesigned AEM's Water/Methanol injector with a revolutionary technology that cools faster than its previous generation design while using less fluid. In addition to founding a company that is highly regarded in the performance aftermarket for creating innovative products and making high-tech products more affordable, he continues to make a significant contribution as Chief Engineer at AEM Performance Electronics, a division of Holley Performance.
