Forest River ranks Top 3 Spots in Ford's top volume accounts
Starcraft Bus, Elkhart Coach and Glaval Bus finished first, second and third, respectively.
Forest River announced that its three bus divisions have placed first, second and third for the first time ever for the month of July, as Ford’s Top Volume Pool Accounts. Starcraft Bus, Elkhart Coach and Glaval Bus finished first, second and third, respectively. This achievement continues to underscore its ongoing relationship with Ford Motor Co.
“There’s a lot of talk in this industry about having the best product or the best dealers, but there is only one manufacturer and one dealer base that has been ranked number one for more than a decade,” says David Wright, president of Starcraft Bus. “We are proud of our employees, dealers and suppliers who are committed to building the best buses in the industry.”
This news comes on the heels of Ford announcing that Starcraft Bus was named Ford’s Top Volume Bus Account for the 10th consecutive year. Starcraft Bus was presented the award on June 9th at Ford’s Annual Pool Account Meeting in Detroit.
