For Immediate Release
October 16, 2008
MARION, SC: Beneteau USA, with dealers throughout the Americas
and a 250,000 square foot factory in Marion, SC is pleased to
release two important pieces of positive news following the US Sailboat
Show in Annapolis. In a proprietary search report compiled by Info-Link
Technologies of Miami, the #1 brand for 2008 state registrations and Coast
Guard documentation of new 30 foot plus sailing yachts in the US is
Beneteau. This continuation of its preeminent market position was divulged
to its dealers at the annual Beneteau meeting just prior to the show opening.
Beneteau congratulated the network for substantially increasing their share
of sales and improving their CSI customer service scores. To add to the
dealer's delight and reinforce their success, Beneteau's Vice President of
Sales, Mike Lecholop, awarded many large sales and service bonuses to their
stocking dealer network. This good news was soon followed by over twenty
new retail orders taken at the show from the largest choice of offerings on
display; 11 models from 31 to 54 feet, including the premier American
showing of the NEW Beneteau 34 and 54.
"It is so gratifying to see the hard work of all our team in Marion and our
wonderful dealers culminate in continuing to dominate the world of sailing.
This sailing on to success, realized in stormy times, proves that there is no
better place to escape the economic tempest than out sailing a beautiful
sailboat.....and preferably a Beneteau." claimed Wayne L. Bur****, President of
Beneteau USA.
Beneteau USA Inc. is the sole American manufacturing facility of Groupe
Beneteau, the publicly traded conglomerate that leads the sailing industry
and is also one of the largest producers of power boats in Europe.
