Continued success from a diversified portfolio is credited for a positive second quarter financial report for Winnebago Industries. The Minnesota-based outdoor lifestyle products manufacturer, which has Iowa factories in Forest City and Lake Mills, saw net income for the quarter at $4.8 million, compared to a net loss of $400,000 in the second quarter of last fiscal year. Winnebago CEO Michael Happe says the company starts the second half of its fiscal year on solid footing.
Happe says despite some tough economic times, people are still finding a spot in their budget for recreation.
Happe says Winnebago officials will keep a close eye on world events and how they might impact the company.
The Winnebago portfolio also includes the Grand Design and Newmar RV brands, Barletta pontoon boats, and Chris-Craft powerboats.
