At its annual awards dinner in Elkhart, Indiana, on Friday night, the Greater Elkhart Chamber of Commerce named Nexus RV its 2022 Business of the Year.
Nexus RV is a factory-direct RV manufacturer, founded in 2010 by childhood friends, Claude Donati and Dave Middleton. Nexus RV began with only 15 employees and now has more than 300. They have become a nationally recognized brand because of their all-steel coaches, “NeXclusive” features and brand loyalty. As the company worked to expand their reach outside the Midwest, Nexus incorporated showrooms in Texas, California, Delaware and dealerships in Arizona and Florida.
Nexus RV gives back to their employees and community by sponsoring local sports teams, bands, local events and supporting their employees with a focus on work/life balance, the chamber said in presenting the award.
The company claims to be the largest privately held motorized manufacturer in the industry.
The criteria for Business of the Month include growth, innovation of products and services, their unique entrepreneurial story, community involvement and impact on the local economy.
