Thetford is Celebrating 60 Years of RV Sanitation Solutions

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Thetford LLC, a leader in RV and marine toilets and sanitation solutions, today (Feb. 14) unveiled its new logo treatment celebrating the company’s 60 years of commitment to providing sanitation solutions to the RV industry.

Thetford was founded in 1963 by Frank Sargent and his two sons, when they were unhappy with the troublesome black water drain valve on their RV. The three engineering-minded fellows thought the existing drain valve design was awful, so they decided to create a better one. As a result of this experiment in industrial design, in May 1963 the Sargent founded Thetford Engineering in a Thetford Township garage near Flint, Mich. The company remains based in Michigan today.

“In an industry where suppliers come and go, Thetford has remained committed to providing high quality and specifically designed sanitation solutions for the RV industry,” stated Mary Pouliot, Executive Vice President Thetford North America. “No other company has been as focused and committed to the industry as we have. Throughout 2023 we plan on celebrating everything Thetford has accomplished since 1963 with our customers, consumers, employees and community.”

The company has plans for an interactive social media campaign that will highlight its 60 years in the RV industry. Company officials encourage everyone to follow Thetford and participate on Facebook @thetfordRV, Instagram @thetfordnorthamerica and on LinkedIn all year long.

Headquartered in Ann Arbor, Mich., Thetford LLC is the world’s leading supplier of sanitation products for the RV, marine and heavy-duty truck industries. Thetford is a privately held company with seven manufacturing facilities in four nations.
