Fleetwood Corporation has announced it is shifting its Windsor caravans manufacturing facilities to its Western Australian base.
Fleetwood currently manufacturers caravans under two marques; Coromal and Windsor.
Windsor caravans were previously built in Victoria, while the Coromal brand is manufactured in WA.
Fleetwood said the shift of Windsor manufacturing to WA would remove any duplication of production and overhead costs.
“The transfer of production to Western Australia presents opportunities to improve production efficiencies and the designs of both brands while retaining the distinct individual characteristics of each,” Fleetwood said in a statement.
“The transfer process will attract one-off costs in the first half of the financial year which will be offset by a reduction in overheads and other synergies during the second half of the year.”
At 1:30PM, WST, Fleetwood stocks were down 1.2 per cent, at $10.85.
