Gulf Stream Coach, Inc.
The Gulf Stream Evolution
One of the most successful
entrepreneurial stories in the RV industry comes from the heart of a
small, simple Amish community town of Nappanee, IN.
In 1971, amidst a community
of horse and buggies, James F. Shea chose to embrace opportunity at a
time when consumers were wary of purchasing "luxury" items. the vision
and fortitude of Jim Shea led him to create his first mobile home
prototypes in an old, abandoned sauerkraut factory. In just a short
time, whin that factory an astounding 12 Fairmont homes per day were
being produced. just as remarkable is the Gulf Stream state-of-the-art
RV facility campus today which has become a large part of the Nappanee
community employing over 1500 people.
In the mid-1970's, a few
years after Fairmont's originated and sustained solid growth, Jim Shea's
three sons, Jim, Jr., Brian and Dan joined him in the business. The
three young men were to learn every aspect of the business.
In 1983 Gulf Stream Coach was
established. The Shea Family's mission for Gulf Stream was to produce an
exceptional variety and quality of Motorhomes, travel trailers and 5th
wheels. Gulf Stream's advanced technology in woodworking and
manufacturing soon took the company to new heights; making them one of
the leaders in manufacturing in the RV industry today.
With the same entrepreneurial
spirit that their father held, Jim, Brian, and Dan Shea assumed the
day-to-day responsibilities of the company in the 1990's. the three
brothers managed the company in close assosiation with the founder,
their father, and were actively involved in the operations, product
development, customer service, manufacturing and with customer
interaction/satisfaction. However, by centering their duties in three
different areas Jim with housing, Brian with motorized, and Dan with
towables, the three can bring more of the same dedication and hard work
that their father instilled but in three fold.
Their inspiration comes from
watching and imitating companies such as Toyota or Honda and their
success in satisfying their customers with quality products. The
brothers also became interested in bringing new quality initatives into
the RV/housing industry and teamed up with a number of higher learning
institutions. Through this commitment in training, Gulf Stream has built
one of the finest management teams with similar philosophies, work
ethics and devotion as James F. Shea, Sr. instilled in the organization.
