manufacturing facility at summer’s end, the first home built out of
Ritz-Craft Home’s newly renovated Plant 2 came off of the production line last week.

“Ever since the day we had to close Plant 2, we have been working
on a plan to reopen the facility and bring people back to work,” said Paul
John, Ritz-Craft’s co-owner, president and CEO.
“The timing of all of this will help make the holiday season
brighter for a lot of Ritz-Craft families.”
The quaint, one-story home, which features one bedroom, one
and one half bathrooms and 1,000 square feet of living space, is headed for a
new retirement community in Galloway, N.J.
“The smell of sawdust and the sound of nail guns are so much
better than the previous seven years of nothing but quiet and moth balls,” said
Eric John, Ritz-Craft co-owner and vice president. “It was an awesome feeling
to watch that first home roll out the door.”
Ritz-Craft, a family owned company, is celebrating its 60th
year in business in 2014 and remains one of the few privately owned modular
home manufacturers in the United
States .
With headquarters in Mifflinburg, Ritz-Craft’s roots in
residential home building date three generations to 1954. The company has
additional production facilities in Michigan
and North Carolina .
