About Champion – Corporate Information

Building upon its long history as a leader in the manufactured housing industry, Champion began a new chapter when it was acquired in March of 2010. The new owners have recapitalized the company and positioned Champion for long-term growth. As a result of this support, we now boast one of the strongest balance sheets in the industry, and are using this strength to reinvest in each of the important markets that we serve.

Champion is privately held with three majority owners including Centerbridge Partners, L.P., MAK Capital Fund LP, and Sankaty Advisors, LLC. This highly regarded ownership group has forged an alliance to continue to support the company and drive Champion forward to the next level.
