Which manufactured housing company is owned by Berkshire Hathaway?

Which manufactured housing company is owned by Berkshire Hathaway? Clayton Homes is the answer.

Berkshire Hathaway agreed to acquire Clayton Homes in 2003, and the transaction was completed later that year. Clayton became a wholly owned Berkshire subsidiary while keeping its headquarters in Knoxville, Tennessee, and continuing to operate as a major manufactured-housing business.

Clayton is vertically integrated: its activities have included manufacturing homes, operating company-owned and independent retail outlets, managing manufactured-housing communities, and providing financing and insurance services. That broad structure distinguishes it from homebuilders whose main business is constructing site-built houses.

D.R. Horton, Lennar and Pulte are prominent U.S. residential builders, but they are not the company identified by this question. Clayton is also sometimes associated with the name Vanderbilt Mortgage, its financing arm; that is a related business, not a different answer to the quiz question.
