Thor Industries, Inc. hired Lippert Chief Sales Officer Andy Murray to a new role as Thor’s senior vice president of strategy and business development.
Murray worked at Lippert for 20 years. Thor President and CEO Bob Martin said Murray is widely respected across the RV and specialty manufacturing industries for his experience and leadership.
“Andy is an outstanding addition to Thor,” Martin said. “He is highly regarded across our industry, and his understanding of the RV supply ecosystem and strong operating discipline will help us further strengthen our partnerships, improve performance and support our long-term growth strategy.”
A Thor spokesperson said Murray will focus on enhancing operational and financial performance, identifying growth opportunities through mergers and acquisitions. He will also be tasked with strengthening collaboration across OEM customers and supply partners.
The company said supply chain performance continues to be an important part of Thor’s long-term strategy. The company said recent acquisitions, such as Airxcel buying Synergy Design in February, reflect Thor’s focus on expanding capabilities and supporting OEMs.
“In its supply chain strategy, Thor has built a strong foundation, and there is significant opportunity ahead,” Murray said. “Thor has a clear vision for strengthening its capabilities and working across the industry to drive performance and pursue new opportunities that benefit both Thor and the broader RV ecosystem.”
The company said it remains committed to working closely with its long-standing supplier partners.
“The creation of this role and the hiring of Murray reflect Thor’s continued commitment,” a spokesperson said, “to investing in its capabilities, strengthening its supply network and positioning the company for long-term, sustainable growth.”
