This spring, Thor Industries, Inc. will move its corporate headquarters to Elkhart, Ind. from Jackson Center, the company said Wednesday.

“Given our commitment to the RV (recreational vehicle) industry, we want to be more accessible and active in the community where a large majority of RVs are produced and where more than 70 percent of our operations are located,” Peter Orthwein, Thor chairman and chief executive, said in a statement. “With so many of Thor’s operations located in Elkhart and neighboring LaGrange counties, it makes sense to have our corporate management and support services as close to as many of our operating subsidiaries as possible.”

Thor’s corporate human resources, finance and accounting, legal and information technology departments, which are already in Elkhart, will move to the company’s new office in downtown Elkhart, the company said.
