Fleetwood on the way to building two million RVs

President and CEO Elden Smith of Fleetwood Enterprises, the huge RV maker, was interviewed the other day by Southern California’s Inland Valley Daily Bulletin newspaper. He was asked what he thought would surprise people most about this company.

"I think the size and scope of the company would surprise most people," he said. "In the 57 years that Fleetwood has been around, we have produced more than 1.7 million RVs and 1.3 million homes." He also thought people would be surprised to learn the company employs approximately 9,000 people, 1,600 of which, he noted, are in Southern California.
