VIDEO: Walorski Honors Jayco’s 50 Years

U.S. Rep. Jackie Walorski (R-Ind.) stood on the House floor recently to congratulate Jayco on its 50th anniversary and all the jobs it’s created over the years.

Below is the Congressional record:

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate local RV manufacturer Jayco and to join them in celebrating 50 years of success.

“In 1968, Lloyd and Bertha Bontrager developed their first RV prototype on their family farm in northern Indiana and launched a family business that would last for generations. Today, half a century later, Jayco has grown to include over 500 acres of manufacturing plants, more than 300 dealers around the world, and countless good jobs for hardworking Hoosiers in our community.

“Jayco’s continued commitment to innovation and expansion at home in Indiana demonstrates the strong business model that both celebrates the past and uses tradition as fuel for the future. With Jayco’s focus on quality, it is no surprise people trust the product they’re getting when it rolls out of the factory doors. And its dedication to family values and sustainability shows customers the passion, reliability, and durability behind everything Jayco makes.

“Northern Indiana leads the RV industry in the United States, and as a community, we are grateful to have this company as a leader and pioneer to inspire future generations of manufactures to carry on the legacy. It is an honor to represent Jayco, the Bontrager family, and the hardworking employees who have played such a vital role in northern Indiana’s growing economy for decades.

“Mr. Speaker, on behalf of 2nd District Hoosiers, I want to thank everyone at Jayco for an incredible 50 years, and I look forward to more amazing things to come.

“Happy 50th anniversary and best wishes on this next chapter.”
