Our Inspiration... Determination... Commitment

Mr. Otto Miller, Founder

Shortly following retirement Otto Miller met Cliff Richardson, a retired pioneer of the manufactured housing industry. Together, in 1967, they founded Cliff Industries and grew to become one of the largest U.S. producers of modular buildings for business and institutional use. Their Company was international in scope serving customers throughout the United States, Canada, Japan and Saudi Arabia.

Otto truly was a pioneer and visionary, and saw a bright future for factory constructed buildings. He was never satisfied building simple products. He constantly pushed the envelope, building the industries most sophisticated and appealing commercial and institutional structures.

In 1970, Cliff Industries was sold and Otto remained president until he again retired in December of 1981.

In January 1983, Otto Miller came out of retirement - for the second time - and founded Miller Building Systems, Inc. (MBSI).  Armed with his reputation for exceptional quality and business ethics, Otto’s new company experienced explosive growth and success, which caught the attention of Wall Street firms. In merely three years, by 1986, Miller Building Systems, Inc. had become a publicly-traded company. Otto Miller finally retired in 1990, and passed away the same year.

In 1999, MILLER BUILDING SYSTEMS, Incorporated first appeared on the distinguished list of FORBES 200 BEST SMALL COMPANIES.

In 2000, Miller Building Systems, Inc. caught the attention of publicly-traded Coachmen Industries (COA). Miller fit perfectly into their growth strategy because their All American Homes division was the largest U.S. manufacturer of systems-built modular homes. Coachmen acquired Miller Building Systems, Inc. in November 2000.

In March 2006, The Warrior Group, Inc, Opus Acquisitions Group, LLC and Eagle Partners, LLC purchased the COA interest in Miller Building Systems; thus creating the largest minority owned commercial modular and telecommunication building manufacturing company in the United States.

Today, over 300 Miller Building Systems employees carry forward the same sense of commitment and determination inherited from their visionary founder 25 years ago.
