Jayco Inc. calls back 200 jobs

MIDDLEBURY — Jayco Inc. has the largest backlog of orders in two years and plans to recall or hire more than 200 people before the end of the year, according to company officials.

Derald Bontrager, Jayco president, said, “As a result of improving market conditions, very low dealer inventories and retail incentives provided to dealers, Jayco needs to significantly increase our output in order to meet rising demand for our products.

“It has become increasingly clear that 2009 will end better than we had expected and we are encouraged by the prospects for our business in 2010 — our business plan anticipates a substantial increase in sales next year,” Bontrager said.

“This is the first tangible indication that the RV industry has turned the corner and can look forward to improved business conditions going forward,” he said.
