Terry Trexler, President, stated, “Our sales for the third quarter of 2014 were strong despite tight retail credit standards and uncertain economic conditions present in our country. According to the Florida Manufactured Housing Association, shipments in Florida for the period from November 2013 through July 2014 were up approximately 22% from the same period last year. We believe that the long-term demographic trends favor future growth in the Florida market area we serve, and that the current economic environment requires us to maintain our strong financial position for future growth and success.”

We have specialized for 47 years in the design and production of quality, affordable manufactured homes at our plant located in central Florida. With our multiple retail sales centers, an insurance subsidiary, and investments in retirement manufactured home communities, we are the only vertically integrated manufactured home company headquartered in Florida.
