 Marlette History

Creating Happy Customers for 60 Years

It all began in Marlette, Michigan in 1953 when Earl Swett, Charlie Ballard and Paul Riedle began making manufactured homes in a converted lumber company under the name of Marlette Coach Company.

As the business grew and prospered, Earl Swett pioneered to develop manufactured housing standards for quality and value. He was subsequently awarded a medal of honor reserved for other great Americans like Herbert Hoover.

Today, Marlette remains an icon in the manufactured housing industry. Located in Hermiston Oregon, near the border of Washington State, Marlette continues to pioneer new standards for design and quality that have repeatedly earned it “Manufacturer of the Year” as part of the Clayton Homes family. As a successful business, Marlette has also been recognized by one of the nations foremost success stories when it was acquired by Berkshire-Hathaway.
