Airxcel, Inc. is making investments in its recently acquired Elkhart Composites supplier. Airxcel hired Chris Workman to be the new general manager at Elkhart Composites.
“Chris is part of a multi-phase expansion plan to scale up Elkhart Composites and develop the tremendous potential of their Elkboard material,” said Anthony Wollschlager, Airxcel group president. “We are excited about the opportunities for strategic growth and product development that Chris will usher in using his expertise in customer relationships, operational excellence and supply management.”
Workman previously was the vice president of global supply management and sustainability at Thor Industries.
Airxcel stated Workman brings expansive RV industry knowledge to his new position, as well as a global perspective from a host of industrial disciplines. The company stated Workman has proven experience driving profitable growth in challenging markets.
“Joining Elkhart Composites means being part of an amazing opportunity in the RV industry,” Workman said. “Elkboard allows us to steer away from unsustainable wood harvesting practices overseas and toward an ultra-durable solution made right here in America. I am proud to be leading the change and driving positive innovations for Elkhart Composites and the RV industry in this field.”
