Beginning in 1956, Lawrence “Larry” Lippert sold galvanized and aluminum roofing products to the manufactured housing industry, as tradeonlytoday tells MHProNews. Now celebrating its 60h birthday, Lippert is part of Drew Industries, Inc., which has grown into a billion dollar annual business today, producing and distributing component parts to the manufactured housing (MH), recreational vehicle (RV), trailer, bus, marine and heavy truck industries.

With 40 acquisitions under its belt within the last 16 years, Lippert Components and Drew Industries CEO Jason Lippert oversees 7,000 employees and 45 facilities in the U. S., Canada and, as MHProNews reported May 5, 2016, in Italy where the company acquired an RV accessories and specialty manufacturer.

Lippert, thanking the employees and the customers, said the company intends to continue expanding its core MH and RV markets, as it commits more resources to expanding its aftermarket segment. At the same time, Lippert seeks attractive acquisition opportunities. ##
