Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –
“A 127,000 square-foot Skyline Champion Corporation plant is slated to open in January 2019, with an anticipated production launch in the spring. The idle facility is being retooled and configured and will include some new innovative production techniques, including automation,” said their press release via Berkshire Hathaway owned Business Wire to the Daily Business News on MHProNews.
“It’s an honor to be the only operating manufactured housing facility in the state of Louisiana,” said Keith Anderson, Chief Executive Officer. “We are thrilled to bring our high-quality, cost-effective homes to an even wider customer base, as well as to offer the exceptionally skilled local workforce with hundreds of new jobs.”
“The facility’s location will allow us to provide better value due to reduced transportation for the future homebuyers of Louisiana, east Texas, south Arkansas and south Mississippi,” said Wade Lyall, Vice President of the Southern Region. “We are strongly committed to providing affordable housing to the residents of this great state and we look forward to building long-lasting relationships with the City of Leesville, the Louisiana Economic Development Corporation, local Retailers, and the LA Housing Commission.”
