RVBusinss says Lippert Components, Inc., a subsidiary of Drew Industries, Inc., has announced plans to re-brand its seating and furniture operations into Lippert Interior Solutions, and consolidate its seating manufacturing operations into one 160,000 manufacturing plant instead of the current two 70,000 square foot facilities. Says LCI Director of Product Development Jeff Few, “Consolidating the wood division, the steel division, and the foam cutting operation streamlines management and communications, and accelerates production and product development while increasing quality control and improving design.” The new plant will be up and running the first quarter of 2013 and will result in added employment.
