Drew’s President Scott Mereness said, “LCI’s growth in furniture solutions for the RV market has largely been due to a continual commitment to innovation, design and customer service. We believe that same approach will lead to similar results in the pontoon boat industry. Beyond the marine market, we expect to utilize the Signature team to develop furniture solutions for the RV motorhome market as well.”
Rob Roehm, Chief Executive Officer of Signature, who will continue with LCI, said, “Signature Seating will continue to flourish under the additional leadership of the LCI team.” Drew’s $100 million line of credit financed the purchase, as it continues to seek other investment opportunities.
Drew has 42 manufacturing facilities in North America from which it supplies components to the manufactured housing and recreational vehicle markets. The company’s stock closed down -0.02 percent in trading, Mon., Aug. 10, at $57.15.
