After Lippert Components, Inc. officially closed on its purchase of Furrion Holdings Limited, Lippert announced a new leader for Furrion’s North American operations.
Andrew Mock was named senior vice president of Furrion North America. Lippert President and CEO Jason Lippert cited Mock’s experience working with Furrion and its products as a reason for the decision.
“Andrew has been with Lippert since 2014, and during that time, he has held many sales roles, most recently vice president of sales for Lippert’s RV OEM business,” Jason Lippert said. “Throughout Andrew’s time at Lippert, he has cultivated several key OEM relationships in the RV industry and was critical in growing Furrion sales during the time of our distribution relationship from 2015 through 2019. Andrew has a deep knowledge of the products and customers in the RV OEM space, and I am confident he will bring this expertise to drive future product development in the space.”
Steven Bell will remain the chief technology officer for Furrion North America and Asia, while Furrion CEO will remain CEO of Furrion Asia, Lippert announced.
“Darren will continue to oversee the development, sourcing, and fulfillment of Furrion products while supporting Lippert’s efforts to scale our business overseas and advance growth in our European and Australian markets,” Jason Lippert said. “In addition to a great procurement and quality team, Darren has a strong team of industrial designers and engineers in Hong Kong who will support Furrion’s innovative product development, to stay on the cutting edge of aesthetics and functionality, which will be essential for the long-term success of the Furrion brand.”
Ryan Smith, group president of Lippert OEM North America, said Bell will continue driving innovation and technology in the Furrion brand. Bell also will bridge the technological gap between the suppliers, Smith said.
“Stevie’s passion will help bring Furrion and Lippert products to the next level,” Smith said, “as we invest our resources into R&D and engineering to expand the product pipeline for Furrion products in the coming years, and Stevie is the right person to champion this endeavor.”
Furrion entered the RV industry in 2007 and is best known for its new appliance products and introducing state-of-the-art technologies into the recreation space, Lippert said.
“Furrion is extremely excited to join the Lippert family,” Ho said. “Furrion’s success has been the result of its great team members and partners. As we move forward, we could not have found a more complementary partner to bring Furrion’s products to the next level. Our history with Jason, Ryan, and their teams, the culture at Lippert, and its proven track record makes Lippert the perfect partner for us, and together we hope to achieve amazing results.”
