Marine equipment manufacturer and supplier Quick Group has formally entered a partnership with the United Marine Manufacturers Association, Inc (UMMA) through its Florida-based US division, Quick USA. The agreement, which was signed and came into force at the start of September 2025, marks a further step in Quick USA’s strategy to expand its presence and partnerships within the American leisure boating industry, reinforcing its role as a trusted supplier in the market.

UMMA is an alliance of independent US-based boatbuilders which, while operating autonomously, have joined together to enhance their collective competitiveness and to address important industry issues which affect their future and continued success. With more than 60 members, it represents a significant part of the American boatbuilding industry.

“UMMA’s goal is to develop partnerships with suppliers that provide excellent products, services, and programs for our boat builders,” states Kim Liddycoat, UMMA Vice President. “We chose to partner with Quick USA because of their reputation for reliability, innovation, and commitment to the marine industry. This partnership provides our members with access to products that enable them to remain competitive in today’s market. We look forward to working with Quick USA and developing a mutually beneficial relationship with the group.”
