VIDEO: Rapido Closes Erwin Hymer Deal, Posts Jobs

Roadtrek is now accepting job applications, just two months after 800 people were laid off and the RV business went into receivership.

This story originally appeared on CTV Kitchener.

The Cambridge, Ontario, company was put up for sale in February by Erwin Hymer North America.

Earlier this month the French RV maker Rapido Group announced its intent to purchase all of Erwin Hymer’s assets related to the Roadtrek RV brand.

“Our priority will be to reestablish operations and further develop this famous brand in North America,” said Rapido President Pierre Rousseau.

Rapido has promised to reinvigorate Roadtrek and plans to hire as many as 200 employees.

Troy Becktel, a former Erwin Hymer employee, said the new buyer needs to keep the focus on its workers.

Rapido also owns the Westfalia brand of RVs.
