June 27, 2024: We culminated a week of celebrating 50 Years with a banquet at Shady Maple Smorgasbord. The two men, the “R” and the “V”, that founded and led this company to become what it is today. A place that currently provides 355 people with opportunities to learn, grow, and provide for their families. We were thankful to have Ron and Vic, a host of other retirees, and our current team to celebrate in one room! Thank you to all of our employees for all you do, both what is seen and unseen.
In all of our searching, this was one of the earliest photos in our company’s history. Pictured is Walter Putt in the very early stages of building the foundation of R-V Industries! Walter’s son, Ron Putt, would become the “R” in R-V. For those that don’t know, Ron and Victor Dodd co-created the R-V Industries entity that we know today.
