Thetford North America, a manufacturer of RV and marine toilets and sanitation solutions, unveiled its new logo that celebrates its 60th year in business this year.
Thetford was founded in 1963 by Frank Sargent and his two sons, when they were unhappy with the troublesome black water drain valve on their RV. The three engineering-minded fellows thought the existing drain valve design was awful, so they decided to create a better one. As a result of this experiment in industrial design, in May 1963 the Sergeants founded Thetford Engineering in a Thetford Township garage near Flint, Michigan. The company remains based in Michigan today, although the company is active in four countries.
“In an industry where suppliers come and go, Thetford has remained committed to providing high quality and specifically designed sanitation solutions for the RV industry,” said Mary Pouliot, executive vice president of Thetford North America. “No other company has been as focused and committed to the industry as we have. Throughout 2023 we plan on celebrating everything Thetford has accomplished since 1963 with our customers, consumers, employees and community.”
The company has plans for an interactive social media campaign that will highlight their 60 years in the RV industry. They encourage everyone to follow them and participate on Facebook @thetfordRV, Instagram @thetfordnorthamerica and on LinkedIn all year long.
