Lippert has announced that Andrew Pocock, a 17-year veteran of Lippert, has been promoted to executive vice president of building and transportation products. In this new role, Pocock will lead all sales and operational strategic direction for Lippert’s building and transportation products in North America, and will report to Lippert’s President and CEO, Jason Lippert.

Total sales for Lippert’s building and transportation products is about $380 million for the recent 12 months.

In 2012, Lippert began its diversification strategy by executing several key acquisitions outside the RV industry, mostly servicing the commercial bus market. Since then, Lippert has grown to supply products in multiple segments including heavy truck, agricultural equipment, construction equipment, ATVs and UTVs, as well as the railway industry. Lippert has been a supplier to the building products segment since its inception in 1956, supplying chassis, vinyl windows, entry doors, and kitchen and bath products. Pocock’s promotion into this new role will give Lippert senior strategic leadership dedicated to these markets and products, aligning sales and operations in order to incubate growth and to support the unique needs of these customers.

“I’m honored that I have been chosen to lead this initiative for Lippert and am excited about the commitment that the organization has made to focus on these markets,” said Pocock about his new role. “We have a strong team of great leaders already in place who have been paving the way for success in these industries for years now, and this new organizational commitment will create more opportunities for growth for these team members moving forward. I want to thank the entire team who has worked so hard to get us to this point as well as the executive leadership for trusting me with this new and important role for the organization.”

Lippert has several facilities throughout North America that have already dedicated operations to the building and transportation products that Pocock will now oversee. The building products facilities will include plants in Denver; Pennsylvania; Fitzgerald, Ga.; Howe, Ind.; Goshen, Ind.; Westville, Ind.; Double Springs, Ala.; Nampa, Idaho; Waxahachie, Texas; as well as a new facility in Texas that will build manufactured housing frames. Lippert’s facilities dedicated to transportation products, primarily glass and windows, include Granby, Quebec; Gaffney, S.C.; Yoder, Ind.; and Tulsa, Okla..; as well as Lippert’s coating facility in Elkhart, Ind.
