JACKSON CENTER, Ohio, – Thor Industries, Inc., parent of Keystone RV, Thursday announced changes in its management structure.

Ron Fenech, president of Keystone RV, has been appointed senior group president, with all Thor RV divisions reporting to him.

“Over the past eight years as president, Ron Fenech has been an important driver of Thor’s largest and most profitable company, Keystone. Thor’s other RV companies will now also share in the benefits of his leadership,” said Peter B. Orthwein, Thor chairman, CEO and president. “Under Ron’s direction, Thor’s RV divisions will remain separate and distinct companies in the marketplace, serving their distinct dealer networks.”

Fenech will report directly to Orthwein.

Richard “Dicky” Riegel, Thor’s chief operating officer will be responsible for Thor’s bus group, Thor investor relations, and for developing new business segments related to Thor’s lines of business.

Bob Martin, executive vice president of Keystone RV, has been appointed president of Keystone RV.

“Bob has been an integral part of the Keystone team since our early days, and we have been preparing for this move with Bob for the past three years,” said Fenech. “Bob understands what makes Keystone great, and I am excited about Keystone’s future under his leadership.”

The management changes were triggered by the death in November of Wade F.B. Thompson, Thor’s co-founder, chairman, president and CEO.

Thor is the world’s largest manufacturer of recreation vehicles and a major builder of commercial buses.
