Bénéteau seeks buyers for Cadillac boat plant, Four Winns, Glastron and Scarab Jet brands
- Bénéteau is seeking buyers for its Cadillac, Michigan boatbuilding site, alongside the Four Winns, Glastron, and Scarab Jet brands.
- Production at Cadillac is set to stop in Q3 2026; after-sales support and spare-parts supply will continue until the sale closes.
- The assets represented under 5% of group revenue in 2025; the three US brands posted nearly EUR 30 million in cumulative operating losses in 2024-2025.
- The divestment follows a multi-year decline in the bowrider and jet-boat segments, worsened by weaker demand since the Middle East conflict began in March 2026.
- Resources are set to shift toward seven core brands, while maintaining growth ambitions in the US market.
