"YT Industries GmbH filed for insolvency in Germany last July, the dominoes fell fast. YT Industries USA shuttered on October 31st; showroom locations went dark; customer service contact info vanished from the website; and a whole lot of Capra and Decoy owners were left staring at their bikes, wondering what exactly a warranty is worth when there's nobody on the other end of the phone."
"Founder Markus Flossmann bought back the YT brand assets and relaunched as Young Talent Industries GmbH in mid-November, and the new company has been steadily working to right the ship ever since. YT has now announced that warranty support in North America is being reinstated."
"For US customers, a dedicated staff member has officially started this week with the sole focus of supporting warranty and service needs. In the short term, service parts will ship directly from Europe to customers in the U.S. For Canada, YT has signed with a new distribution partner who is currently building out a dedicated website, with a parts shipment already en route north of the border."
YT Industries GmbH filed for insolvency in Germany in July, leading to the closure of YT Industries USA, showroom shutdowns, and loss of customer service. Bikes were subsequently sold through Jenson USA at 40-50% discounts with warranty disclaimers, damaging the brand's reputation further. Founder Markus Flossmann acquired the brand assets and relaunched as Young Talent Industries GmbH in November. The company is now rebuilding by reinstating warranty support in North America. A dedicated US staff member began supporting warranty and service needs, with service parts shipping directly from Europe. Canada has a new distribution partner establishing a dedicated website with parts already in transit.
