Cleer Vision, an Airxcel brand, has announced the retirement of Division President Rick Collins effective October 31, 2023. Collins, an industry veteran with more than 20 years of experience, has played a pivotal role in Cleer Vision’s growth and success.
After founding the company and during his time as president, Collins led the company’s strategic initiatives, driving innovations in window and glass technology and expanding Cleer Vision’s presence in the RV market, noted the release. Under his leadership, Cleer Vision has achieved significant milestones and positioned itself as a leader in the industry. Most recently, Collins led Cleer Vision into a new product category: baggage doors.
“It has been a privilege to lead Cleer Vision and work alongside our dedicated team,” said Collins. “I am proud of the accomplishments we have achieved together — and I am confident that Cleer Vision will continue to thrive under new leadership.”
Following Collins’ retirement, Cleer Vision will be led by Jimmy Harlow as General Manager.
