Lebra Tonneaus and Replacement Parts

The latest word we have heard here at www.AccessorizeYourVehicle.com is that Lebra has a large commitment as the OEM supplier for numerous vehicle manufacturers.  Because of the demanding specifications of the auto makers, taking on these commitments is a sizeable task.

As a result, most prospective buyers of the Lebra and Downey Products lines have been scared away.  Fortunately, not all of the suitors out there have fallen away.  We are expecting to hear more details about the sale of Lebra very soon.

Global Accessories Sold (again!) to Covercraft

This just in:

June 24, 2009
 
Martin Lichtmann, President, Covercraft Industries, Inc.

Covercraft Industries, Inc. has entered into an agreement to purchase most of the assets of Global Accessories, Inc., which includes their Wolf Automotive, Powersports and Marine covers, LeBra front end covers, DashMat dashboard covers, Premier Floor Mats and Spidy Gear cargo web product lines.  Global's lines of Downey Products and LeBra tonneau covers were not included in the purchase.
 
The transaction was concluded on Monday, June 15, 2009.  Management is in the process of determining how and when production of the Global Accessories products will resume.
 
Headquartered in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma, Covercraft Industries is the largest manufacturer of custom-patterned vehicle covers in the world, along with a wide variety of products for exterior and interior vehicle protection, including seat protectors, front end masks, window heat shields, trunk organizers, specialty covers and Canine Covers pet travel items.
 
With manufacturing plants located in Pauls Valley, OK, Wichita Falls, TX and Mexicali, Mexico, the Covercraft team is certified to both TS16949:2002 and ISO 14001.

Well, well, well.  So much for letters of intent. No word on what happened to the supposed sale to Coverking that Global Accessories announced on June 2nd.  Maybe that was just a ploy to bring more players to the table.

The question still remains, what are all the owners of LeBra Tonneau covers going to do for parts?  Stay tuned.

Global Accessories Warehouse Shutdown - Update

Global Accessories sent us an email Tuesday morning with the following information.

Global Accessories has announced that Coverking has signed a letter of intent to purchase most of Global Accessories, Inc. Included in this purchase are all Product Lines, Brand Names, etc. except those related to Tonneaus. It is expected this sale will close in mid-June, 2009.

Global expects that under the Coverking's guidance, most likely before the sale closes, they will resume production of all our brands including DashMat, LeBra, Wolf, and Wolf Power Sports, etc.

What this means for the dozens of people who have contacted us over the last 6 weeks looking for parts to repair their broken tonneau covers is not clear.
