History of the one and only Palm Harbor!!!

On December 31, 1977, starting a company to produce a quality product in a traditionally "low-end" market may not have seemed like a wise business decision to the outside observer. But Lee Posey, Chairman of Palm Harbor Homes, Inc., and 4 valued associates had an idea to produce innovative, high-quality site delivered homes and satisfy their customers with high value for the dollar.

They purchased two manufacturing facilities with their own funds and a modest loan from a venture capital firm. Over the years they have continued to do things that defied conventional wisdom - like inviting the public into their manufacturing facilities to see how the homes are made - and helped to ensure quality and customer satisfaction.

And now, 22 years, 15 plants and 136 retail superstores later, the idea has proven its worth. Palm Harbor Homes is the recognized leader in multi-section manufactured housing. We employ over 5,400 associates and market our homes nationwide, with a vertically integrated organization that includes insurance and finance, through our own retail superstores as well as selected independent retailers.

Under the direction of Lee Posey, who has been in the industry since 1956, management's thrust has been dedicated to assuring that the customer is satisfied with a quality product and that the associates at Palm Harbor Homes feel this is the best job they have ever had. This commitment has worked - as the demand for manufactured housing in the United States soared, Palm Harbor has stayed on the leading edge of innovative design, construction and marketing while empowering its employees with the tools and responsibility they need to achieve even beyond their own expectations.

Since completing its initial public offering on July 31, 1995, the Company has been listed on NASDAQ under the symbol PHHM. Click here to visit the Investor Relations section of our Web site.
