Thor Industries has appointed Amelia A. Huntington to serve on its board of directors effective Oct. 11. Huntington joins the board after concluding a 30-year career in the global energy management and lighting industries, most recently serving as CEO, Philips Lighting America.
“It is an honor to join this world-class team at such an exciting moment for the outdoor recreational vehicle industry,” said Huntington. “Thor is a dynamic and growing company, building North America’s premier recreational vehicles and guiding the global industry into the next chapter of outdoor lifestyle, exploration and adventure.”
In September of this year, Thor announced the pending strategic acquisition of Erwin Hymer Group, extending Thor’s global reach.
“With Amy’s decades of experience and successful track record in corporate leadership and industrial manufacturing, Thor will continue to lead the recreational vehicle industry and be the catalyst to connect more families and friends to the outdoors,” said Bob Martin, Thor president and CEO. “Additionally, Amy’s history of civic engagement and past affiliation as a board member of the U.S. National Parks New York Harbor Conservancy strategically aligns with our company positioning and passions.”
“It is a privilege to welcome Ms. Huntington to the Thor board,” said Peter Orthwein, executive chairman. “Amy has shown remarkable ability to manage and steer large organizations. As our brands continue the tremendous growth we’re seeing across companies, we look forward to leaning on her experience and perspective.”
