History
Established in 1953 by Walter W. Clark and Henry E. George in Dryden, Michigan, Champion Homes originated from a single production plant.
- In 2005, it pioneered the manufacture of privatized modular housing specifically for the U.S. military.
- Following a bankruptcy filing in 2010, Champion Homes was acquired by an investment consortium led by Centerbridge Partners, MAK Capital Fund LP, Sankaty Advisors, along with lenders headed by Credit Suisse. The company later rebounded and resumed its expansion trajectory.
