oldcodger Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 I follow the Workampernews job hotline regularly and have noticed an uptick in job opportunities with New Horizons manufacturing. Have they used up or burned through all the folks in that area? Or is business that good that they need to throw a wider net? Just wondering Quote 2004 Volvo 630 left tandem with 12 speed Freedomline 2014 Sandpiper 35 ROK 42' fifth wheel Western Golf & Country Cart (EZ-GO frame) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palmeris Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) Also they have posted help wanted on their social media channels. Business is good, large back log, longer build times = need more people. We have a factory tour scheduled in June, as we narrow down our selection of builders between NH, Spacecraft and Luxe. All have considerable back logs right now Edited February 1, 2022 by palmeris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk W Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) Junction City only has a population of under 25k so it is not a big labor market. New Horizons was a pretty small company as long as the founder was the only owner and operator. He brought in an investor in 2002 and soon after sold the remainder to Phil Brokenicky, whose sons still hold key positions there. They employ about 50 people. My parents lived in Junction City, KS for 40 years and I still have relatives all around that area. Edited February 1, 2022 by Kirk W Quote Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

Last summer (June) we were there and they were taking orders to start building now. It's only gotten worse - If you order now, you may get it somewhere close to 2025.
