In February 1991, the Homark factory was purchased by 46 employees from private ownership. These employees signed personal commitments to make the purchase, which gave them control of all facets of the business of building Manufactured Homes. Since that time, the factory has grown substantially now offering a modular product as well. The employee-owners are “very proud of the products they build, and want everyone to know that the HOMARK Home you've purchased was "BUILT WITH PRIDE" by the company owners.” As an employee owned company, they implemented a "Total Commitment to Quality" program in 1994. “We start with a very simple but responsible philosophy of quality with our employees at HOMARK. If the material is not equal to their workmanship, they may reject the material involved.” They also have full time quality control personnel inspecting each home.
