The workers have issued a new statement on September 18th, coinciding with the Trial of Nations, where they have also caused a great sensation by surprising with the presentation of a 2016 edition of Trial.
COMMUNIQUÉ ON THE GAS GAS SITUATION (18 SEPTEMBER)
How is the brand’s situation? After yesterday’s meeting between the committee and the administrator.
The viability of the brand’s survival is viewed with optimism, as many investors are interested. Many of them believe in the business and are putting industrial plans on the table that will grow the brand and consolidate it as number one in the Trial and off-road sector.
Offers for potential investments exceed double figures in millions of euros and will grow in the coming years.
But that does not mean that everything will be fixed, like any liquidation process, it is necessary that some requirements are met for this project to be firm and become a solid industrial fabric on national soil. We need the special sensitivity of politicians, the administration and the judiciary.
The latter is the commercial judge of Girona, who will have to decide on the future of the brand. It is the judge who will have to determine whether to speed up the process of selling the production unit or make a standard liquidation plan.
Why is it necessary to speed up the process of selling the production unit? It’s been almost ten months since we’ve had the plant stopped, with minimal spare parts services and the races competing altruistically.
But our commercial network is suffering the consequences, all our importers have a contract with Gas Gas and if we are not able to start up in 2016 many of them will be forced to leave us, sentencing the brand to death.
It is at the next fair in Milan, where the showcase of our sector, suppliers, customers, importers, fans, etc. resides…
Everyone is waiting for Gas Gas to come to fruition.
It is also true that many of the offers have an expiration date. If the JUDGE DOES NOT SPEED up the sale of the productive unit, we will most likely fall into oblivion.
Today we are all aware of the deterioration that the brand has had this last year, either due to a war of interests between partners and banks, or due to the judicial process that has delayed the process.
But it is true that the workers of GAS GAS have not resigned themselves to admitting defeat, but to make us stronger and unite for a purpose. That is why we believe that the JUDGE HAS TO SPEED UP THE PROCESS which is decisive at this time for our future, the decisions have to be made and they have to be now.
The team of workers that make up the brand is very committed to it. Their future depends on it.
That is why GAS GAS will be at the Trial of Nations showing the world our TRIAL 2016.
We would like to thank the drivers, suppliers, importers, fans and everyone else for not forgetting our brand. We know it’s been hard for everyone but we just have to hold on a little longer, we’re close.
Thank you all for your commitment to the brand
