The sales and closures are part of the closure of Daimler Buses North America; only Daimler's imported Setra buses will continue to be marketed although North American distribution will be taken over by Motor Coach Industries (MCI).

All of the company's activities in "concrete accessories", which form part of the construction business, are combined in DSI's traditional DYWIDAG form tie business with products and systems produced by the DSI companies in Porta Westfalica, contec-systems (Germany), as well as in the companies Artéon, Mandelli-Setra, Technique Béton and Idéaplast (all of them located in France).
On April 25, 2012, MCI announced a minority stake with Daimler AG to produce Setra buses for the North American market as Daimler reconfigured its bus operations in North America and exited the commercial bus market there.
