The Skyline History

Skyline’s history in factory-built homes is rich in tradition. Founded in 1951, Skyline opened its doors to the world in Elkhart, Indiana. Initially, Skyline produced the affordable housing units popularly known as "house trailers" or "mobile homes." These units then evolved into the manufactured and modular homes we build today.

Since the early days, Skyline has continued its commitment to producing the very best factory-built homes at the very best prices. We have earned the reputation as an uncompromising manufacturer, through our communities, suppliers and retailers. Hundreds of thousands of Americans live in Skyline homes.

Skyline's Corporate headquarters is in Elkhart, Indiana. It houses marketing services, accounting, information technology, engineering, product development, financial, legal and other corporate functions. Products are built by eight operating divisions located in eight states across the country.
