Skyline Corporation Rankings

Russell 2000 (June 2011)

Company Description

Skyline's idea of a beautiful skyline would probably include a row of double-wides. The company and its subsidiaries design and make manufactured homes and towable recreational vehicles (RVs). It distributes them to independent dealers and manufactured housing communities throughout the US and Canada. More than half of Skyline's revenues come from selling HUD-code manufactured homes (products built according to US Housing and Urban Development standards); the rest of its typically two- to four-bedroom homes are modular in design. Its RVs include travel trailers, fifth wheels, and park models marketed under the names Aljo, Bobcat, Layton, Nomad, and Wagoneer, among others.

The profitability of individual companies depends on manufacturing efficiency and effective supply management. Large companies have economies of scale in purchasing materials and equipment. Smaller producers compete by focusing on specialized product offerings and responsive customer service to local markets. Producers of architectural and structural metals compete with producers of other building materials, primarily wood, for construction-related business.
