The Goshen, Indiana, operation supplies high-gloss fiberglass exterior sidewall panel products to the recreational vehicle market and other related industries. In addition, Crane Composites will acquire the related technical center in Elkhart, Indiana.

In addition to the acquisition, Crane Composites has two other locations in the Goshen area that manufacture exterior sidewall panels and facilitates product service and delivery of the Filon and Noble brand products to RV manufacturers.
