DAVID M. SMITH TO JOIN DREW INDUSTRIES AS CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER

Elkhart, Indiana - August 28, 2015 - Drew Industries Incorporated (NYSE: DW), a leading supplier of components for the recreational vehicle and adjacent industries, today announced that David M. Smith will be joining the Company as Chief Financial Officer, succeeding Joseph S. Giordano III, who served in that role since 2008. This transition is the result of a comprehensive search initiated by the Company in April 2015. Mr. Giordano will continue with the Company for an interim period to ensure an orderly transition.

Smith, 52, has served for the past ten years as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Key Safety Systems, Inc. (KSS), a global leader in the system integration and performance of safety-critical components to the automotive and non-automotive markets. Commencing in 2009, Mr. Smith added the role of President of KSS’ Specialty Products business, serving both roles concurrently. Prior to his tenure at KSS, he served as Chief Financial Officer at Key Plastics, LLC, a tier one global supplier of automotive components. Smith’s career spans 30 years, during which he has held several executive and leadership positions in finance and accounting.

In his role as Drew’s Chief Financial Officer, Smith will lead the Company’s finance functions, as well as manage relationships with shareholders, analysts and other key stakeholders.

“We are delighted to welcome David to Drew Industries,” said Jason Lippert, Chief Executive Officer. “We are committed to building on the success we’ve delivered over the past several years, and David’s experience, energy and leadership skills will help lead the Company through its next phase of growth, as well as help play a key role in our strategic direction.”
