UMA Statement on Motor Coach Industries

Long term industry stalwart Motor Coach Industries (MCI) has entered the court system to restructure their fiduciary obligations. These are complex issues, many of which transcend routine difficulties and involve matters such as foreign exchange rates and investment banking.

In conversation earlier today with the management of MCI, they assured United Motorcoach Association members that operations continue and it’s “business as usual.” The familiar personnel remain, service centers are open, deliveries of new motorcoaches are on schedule and all warranties will continue to be honored. MCI will continue normal operations through the restructuring process.

“MCI has steadfastly supported the motorcoach industry, often in difficult times,” states UMA president and CEO, Victor Parra, “United Motorcoach Association stands with many in the industry when we wish them speedy success in restructuring their financial matters and look forward to their continued leadership in the marketplace.”
