Amerimax, the new joint venture of Lippert and Euramax to supply aluminium cladding materials for RVs

Lippert Components Manufacturing, a subsidiary of LCI Industries (Lippert), has entered into a strategic alliance with Euramax for Mobility, Europe's leading supplier of aluminium products for recreational vehicles (RVs). This new alliance will result in the formation of a joint venture called Amerimax for Mobility.

Lippert and Euramax, with their extensive expertise spanning more than five decades, are collaborating to offer a comprehensive selection of custom aluminium sidewalls and panels to the recreational and transportation OEM markets. This partnership aims to deliver a diverse product catalogue featuring cutting-edge innovations and exceptional customer service, catering to the needs of the recreational vehicle and transportation OEM markets.

The product lines of Amerimax will include a diverse variety of materials, including:

• classic metal-manufactured panels
• pre-painted aluminium sheets and coils with a maximum width of 103 inches
• high-strength premium laminates
• fibreglass-reinforced polyester panels

The joint venture combines Lippert's well-established North American RV market connections with Euramax’s vast manufacturing knowledge. Amerimax for Mobility's North American original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers may anticipate immediate production and supply chain operations benefits.

Ryan Smith, Group President for Lippert's North American OEM Businesses, commented, "I am extremely excited to partner with Euramax for Mobility to create this incredible company that brings extensive experience and innovation to our recreational and transportation vehicle platforms. The specialties of both teams complement each other perfectly, and I have no doubt that we have created a world class manufacturing organization that will offer industry leading product, innovation and customer service."

These advantages primarily include a boost in manufacturing capacity and product availability, resulting in unprecedented enhanced customer experience and service. Amerimax for Mobility has intentionally expanded its service locations to provide exceptional client support. It now operates at three sites in Elkhart County, Indiana, and single locations in Mansfield, Texas; Stayton, Oregon; and Perris Valley, California.

Harmen Kruijt, CEO of Euramax for Mobility, added, “As Europe’s largest supplier, providing over 35 million pounds of painted aluminum to the recreational and transportation OEM markets, we are committed to supporting Amerimax for Mobility with product innovation, while building close relationships with new and existing customers in North America.” Kruijt continued, “Having more than 50 years of manufacturing experience and an annual metal processing capability exceeding 35 million pounds, we are poised to build lasting relationships with customers, suppliers, and our own team members for many years to come.”
