The facility expansion addresses a major market shift based on consumer demand for tape-and-texture (T&T) walls and the rising demand for high-quality affordable manufactured homes.

Allowing for six additional stations for T&T wall production in the facility’s main building, the new building adds 22,400ft² for frame build, frame paint, floor build and decking.
Cavco Industries president and CEO Bill Boor said: “The timing of this expansion to our production footprint could not be better. At a time when demand for our homes is very high, we will now be able to build more with an improved capability to respond to changing customer trends.
“Increasing production capacity, improving working conditions and updating our homes are key to keeping up with the current demand, and this addition checks all the boxes in helping us to achieve that.”
