HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Collins Bus Corp. has partnered with two dealers in New York state: Gorman Enterprises and Factory Direct Bus Sales.
The dealers will market and support Collins Bus Corp.’s three brands, Collins Bus, Mid Bus and Corbeil, which it recently acquired.
“We saw the need to not only maintain the Corbeil brand and loyal customer base that would potentially have been left with no company to support the existing products, but to also offer the Collins Bus and Mid Bus brands through respected and dedicated outlets,” said Kent Tyler, president of Collins Bus Corp.
Gorman Enterprises will serve western and upstate New York. Factory Direct Bus Sales will serve the state’s southern counties, which includes New York City. Contact information for the dealers is as follows:
