The company maintains manufacturing facilities, distribution centers and dealer networks across the United States, Canada, Mexico and select European countries to support sales, service and spare‐parts supply.
Leadership at Thor Industries is headed by President and Chief Executive Officer Bob Martin, who was appointed to the role in 2020 after serving in senior finance and operational positions. Under Martin’s direction, Thor continues to focus on product innovation, quality enhancement and expanding its reach in the growing outdoor recreation market.
