The Coleman Company, Inc. said that it stands by its announcement Monday that its licensing agreement with Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc. has been terminated, and disagrees with Fleetwood’s position expressed in a company press release late Monday.
Further, Coleman reaffirmed its contention that the District Court in the Eighteenth Judicial District, Sedgwick County, Kansas has ruled that Fleetwood has no right to continue using the Coleman brand.
Coleman said it is confident it did not present the court’s ruling out of context and offers the court document to interested parties so they may read the judge’s findings and conclusions of law.
Coleman found it necessary to terminate its license with Fleetwood due to numerous performance issues in breach of the licensing agreement. Coleman made it clear once again that it remains committed to the RV industry and is currently seeking a new licensee to manufacture, distribute and sell recreational vehicles, folding camping trailers and related accessories under the Coleman brand name.
