Drew Industries is a dream factory; it makes wanderlust -- in comfort and style -- a possibility. The company manufactures aluminum and vinyl windows and doors, and other products (furniture and slide-out walls) for travel trailers and fifth-wheel recreational vehicles (RVs) (some 80% of sales) and manufactured housing (MH). Drew does business via two subsidiaries: Kinro produces windows, doors, and screens, and Lippert Components churns out axles, ramps, and chassis parts, as well as specialty trailers for hauling boats and snowmobiles. Customers include homebuilders Clayton Homes and Cavco Industries, and RV makers Thor Industries and Forest River. Drew operates about 25 facilities in roughly a dozen states.
