THOR Industries recently announced on its LinkedIn that its president and CEO, Bob Martin, was recognized by the Elkhart Chapter of the Indiana Black Expo Inc. (IBE) for his dedicated service to the city of Elkhart. IBE, a vital force in the African American community, provides networking, education, career and cultural opportunities for all.
Martin was honored at the 10th Annual IBE Men of Honor Gala on Oct. 5, celebrating his contributions to the Elkhart community. His family’s history in Elkhart goes back to the 1930s, the company said, when they relocated from New York and opened a shop near what is now THOR’s global headquarters.
Martin’s journey in the RV industry began after college, joining THOR in 2001 when it acquired Keystone RV. Since becoming CEO in 2013, THOR said Martin’s leadership has helped THOR thrive and has fueled investments which benefit Elkhart County.
