TEMSA showcased its latest products and services during the annual United Motorcoach Association (UMA) Motorcoach EXPO, held this year on February 20-23, in Oklahoma City, OK.

“Our entire team is thrilled as we wrap up a highly successful UMA. This year’s event was especially meaningful as our new CEO, Evren Guzel, had the opportunity to meet the TEMSA North America team and join us at UMA,” according to TEMSA. “Adding to the excitement, TEMSA North America Orlando Location’s Service Manager, Wes Kanaga, was honored during the EXPO, making the event even more memorable.”

For 17-plus years, Kanaga — along with other longtime industry technicians Greg Lammers, Dave Meyerhofer, and Darren Haines — collectively earned 12 Grand Champion titles at the UMA Maintenance Competition. They are the first inductees into the newly established Ring of Honor. Kanaga, now with TEMSA North America, claimed victories in 2009, 2010, and 2011 when he was at Peoria Charters.

“The UMA EXPO was an incredible experience for our entire team, strengthened by meaningful connections with industry friends, valued customers, and business partners,” according to TEMSA. “The strong interest in our three coach models — TS45, TS35 and TS30 — made us proud, and we are honored to be part of this success. We are truly grateful to be part of such an amazing team.”
