GCT's board and management team includes seven veteran executives from IT, automotive, RV, and finance industries with extensive business experience throughout Europe, Asia, and North America, and are led by CEO Charles Hoefer, Jr. and President Husheng (Harrison) Ding.
Hoefer's family legacy in RV and manufactured housing industries includes multiple #1 selling brands and an appetite for innovation. Hoefer's father benchmarked the standards for today's RV manufacturing, and co-founded Dutchmen RV and Four Winds RV.
Ding's Fortune 500 management experience includes Cisco and high level positions with IBM. At IBM, Ding led a team of 400 global supply chain professionals, managing an annual $10 billion spend worldwide. Ding was awarded China's "Green IT Leader of the Year" in 2011.
NEW APPROACH
GCT's manufacturing system allows for efficient production of stock and custom models, as well as for a diverse product mix. Says Hoefer, "GCT specializes in consumer-driven solutions. Our products meet specific needs, such as remote camping, tailgating, full-timing, high security, and connectivity. We know consumer interests vary, and we can build one-of-a-kind and specific-use products with automotive-level testing and validation."
Ding's focus on global partnerships eliminates seasonal downturns that are common to the RV industry. "GCT's biggest competitive advantage is a global strategy leveraging partnerships across industries. Our product strategy is tailored for market acceptance in North America, Europe, and Australia, and also capitalizes on the high growth opportunity in China, where RV sales may approach the US in the coming decade," Ding said.
