MARYVILLE, Tenn., April 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Clayton home building group, one of America's largest homebuilders, today was named 2018 Manufacturer of the Year for the second consecutive year during MHI's National Congress and Expo for Manufactured and Modular Housing in Las Vegas.

Clayton home building group holds a long-standing membership with MHI, the national trade organization for the factory-built housing industry. Its membership includes builders, retail home centers, community owners, suppliers and 50 affiliated state organizations.

"On behalf of our 11,000 team members, it's an honor to receive this incredible award for the second year in a row," said Clayton home building group president, Keith Holdbrooks. "Our focus remains on the experience of team members and customers, and it's gratifying to know our peers and business partners see us as a company helping elevate our industry."

In 2017, Clayton's 40 home building facilities delivered 46,858 manufactured and modular homes, contributing to the nine percent of manufactured and modular new single-family home starts to families across the nation. The company is committed to elevating the manufactured housing industry through technology, innovation and simply changing the way team members are appreciated, by improving their overall workplace experience. All home building facilities reduced overtime and implemented new pay programs, resulting in an almost eight percent decrease in turnover rate.
