Patrick Industries, Inc. began in 1959 as a regional building-products supplier in northern Indiana and has grown into a major component manufacturer anchored in Elkhart, Indiana, where its corporate headquarters and a dense cluster of plants and support functions are based. From its early focus on wall and panel products for manufactured housing, the company expanded steadily into recreational vehicle, marine, powersports and broader housing markets, often by acquiring specialized producers and folding them into a common operating platform.
Today Patrick is one of the largest suppliers of interior and exterior component solutions to the RV, marine, powersports and housing sectors. Its portfolio spans wall and ceiling panels, countertops, cabinet doors, furniture, flooring, bath and kitchen fixtures, electrical systems, adhesives, aluminum extrusions and many other parts sold primarily to original-equipment manufacturers, with a growing presence in aftermarket channels. The company markets these solutions under more than 80 brands, including names such as LaSalle Bristol in plumbing and distribution products and SeaDek (via Hyperform) in marine flooring and traction materials, giving OEMs and dealers access to highly specialized product lines under a unified corporate umbrella.
Operations are organized as a coast-to-coast manufacturing, distribution and design network serving customers across the United States, with additional facilities and sourcing relationships in Mexico, China and Canada. Plants are typically configured around particular materials or product families—such as composites, wood, plastics, or marine hardware—while regional distribution centers consolidate inventory closer to OEM plants and aftermarket outlets. In several segments, Patrick also runs dedicated design and engineering centers that work directly with major RV and boat builders to co-develop interiors, components and assemblies, allowing the company to move from simple parts supply into full “concept-to-completion” solutions.
Within the broader “outdoor enthusiast” and housing ecosystem, Patrick Industries is viewed as a behind-the-scenes integrator that sets many of the component standards for RVs, boats and manufactured housing. Its reputation is built on being able to supply large OEMs with complete interior and exterior packages, backed by broad brand depth and the ability to engineer custom solutions for specific platforms or models. As RV, marine and housing manufacturers look to streamline their own supply bases, Patrick’s combination of scale, specialized brands like LaSalle Bristol and SeaDek, and engineering support keeps it positioned as a key partner in how finished products are designed, built and upgraded.
