Lippert acquires Girard Systems and Girard Products

Lippert has announced the acquisition of Girard Systems and Girard Products, a well-known RV industry supplier of awnings and tankless water heaters. The deal was completed via LCI Industries’ subsidiary firm Lippert Components Manufacturing.

Girard has been a well-regarded name in the RV industry since 1995 and is particularly known for its high quality products and exceptional service. Having created a significant niche in the motorized segment of the market, Girard’s patented awnings are featured on many of the premier Class A motorized units. Girard’s strategically-placed locations in Alabama, California, and Indiana make it well-positioned to serve customers across the United States as it continues to grow.

Jason Lippert, president and CEO of Lippert, said:” We are very excited to welcome the Girard team to the Lippert family. We have admired how Girard’s business has evolved over the years, focusing on a strong commitment to excellent customer service and creating strong brand loyalty among its key consumers. Girard product lines fall nicely into Lippert’s core products and manufacturing competencies. Our sales and operations teams have big plans to take Girard’s designs and products and expand them into broader customer channels. Girard’s sophisticated product offerings for shade and appliances substantially broaden our product portfolio across all classes of RVs, enabling us to drive new content growth and further extend our leadership position in the outdoor recreation space.”

Marcia Girard, CEO of Girard, added: “Through the last 27 years, we have worked to deliver high-quality products to consumers, paying particular attention to service and building lasting customer relationships. With similar values, along with its leading industry position and manufacturing expertise, Lippert is a great partner to carry our legacy forward. The entire Girard team is excited to join Lippert and begin working to further position the business for long-term growth.”
