Winnebago Wins Top Industry Award

Winnebago Industries has been awarded with the NSW RV Industry’s prestigious RV Trade Award – The Best of The Best Award, at a glittering presentation ceremony at the Novotel North Wollongong Grand Ballroom on July 24, 2008.



In accepting the award from the CCIA, Ben Binns, Winnebago’s Chief Operating Officer, said “it is a great honour and a little overwhelming to receive such an award and it was due to the team effort of the more than 200 employees employed by Winnebago” Winnebago Motorhomes are produced at the manufacturing plant at Emu Plains, west of Sydney.

Earlier in the evening, Winnebago had been awarded the best trade Motorhome manufacturing facility in NSW.

Established in 1965, Winnebago has been producing Motorhomes in Sydney for 43 years. Surprising to many, Winnebago is a family owned Australian Company with no connection to the American company of the same name.

Winnebago produces the largest range of motorhomes in Australia, all classes and sizes from 7 metres to 12 metres long and for all budgets and takes great pride that all motorhomes built fully comply with all of the Federal Governments safety and design regulations.

In an environment where many manufacturing concerns are leaving Australia for overseas destinations, Winnebago is expanding its manufacturing facility at Emu Plains, which currently produces a motorhome every two hours to maintain the around 40% market share it currently holds.

The new plant, located adjacent to the current factory is expected to begin operating early in September. “This reflects the confidence we have in Australia’s future” said Mr Binns, ”the new plant will expand our capability to meet market expectations, after all, there are a lot of baby boomers out there, and many are discovering the freedom of seeing Australia in a fully self contained motorhome”.
