The quiet little town of Jackson Center, OH, may be unknown to many, but it happens to be home to one of the biggest RV manufacturers in the automotive industry: Airstream. Setting up shop in 1952, the company’s founder, Wally Byam, chose the Midwest town as its headquarters due to inexpensive land and the area’s ambitious workforce, which was raring to go following the Great Depression. The company started off small in an old factory, but as it grew over the years, it began to spread all throughout Jackson Center. Today, it stands as one of the town’s biggest businesses and employs over 400 people, continuing to make improvements that will keep Airstream thriving in the future.
