Drew Industries EXPANDS FURNITURE business WITH ASSETS from FLAIR INTERIORS

February 29, 2016

Elkhart, Ind. – February 29, 2016 – Drew Industries Incorporated (NYSE: DW), a leading supplier of components for recreational vehicles (RVs) and manufactured homes, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lippert Components, Inc. (LCI®), has acquired certain assets and business from Flair Interiors, Inc., a manufacturer of RV furniture with locations in Goshen and Fort Wayne, Indiana. Sales of the acquired business for 2015 were approximately $25 million.

“Since acquiring Seating Technology in 2008, our furniture division continues to drive growth for our company. Ryan Smith, Vice President of Lippert Interiors, and his talented furniture team will quickly incorporate the assets and business acquired from Flair into our existing facilities,” said Drew’s President Scott Mereness. “We have well-established furniture operations in both Goshen and Fort Wayne, allowing integration to become significantly easier. As the market leader in RV furniture, this transaction supports one of our goals of continued growth in our core markets.”

The purchase price was $8.1 million, which was paid at closing from borrowings under the Company’s $100 million line of credit. After funding this acquisition, Drew remains well-positioned to take advantage of other investment opportunities.

Ryan Smith, a 10-year veteran of LCI’s furniture operation said, “This acquisition enhances our team and makes our business even stronger. Incorporating the business acquired from Flair into our existing factories, we believe, will result in operational efficiencies. With over 900 employees dedicated to furniture manufacturing, we look forward to continuing to exceed our customer’s expectations.”
