RENO, Nev. — AEONrv, the innovative Reno-based manufacturer redefining the recreational vehicle industry, has been recognized by Nevada’s Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology (NCET) as the 2025 Manufacturing Company of the Year. This prestigious award highlights AEONrv’s remarkable achievements in advanced manufacturing, technological innovation, and economic contribution to Northern Nevada, according to a release.
Each year, NCET recognizes Nevada companies that advance the state’s technology ecosystem and demonstrate leadership in innovation, community collaboration, and sustainable growth. AEONrv stood out for its transformative approach to RV manufacturing, introducing a product that’s not only industry-disrupting but also rooted in Nevada-based engineering and manufacturing.
“Winning the NCET Manufacturing Company of the Year award is a big milestone for us,” said Jim Ritchie, CEO of AEONrv. “It validates our commitment to building something bold and new—not just for the RV market, but for Nevada’s future as a center for innovation and high-tech manufacturing.”
Built for off-road exploration and all-season comfort, AEONrv’s flagship model is a new category of vehicle—engineered on a rugged Ford Transit chassis, equipped with marine-grade materials, intelligent off-grid systems, and modern design tailored to today’s outdoor adventurers.
Operating out of a 70,000-square-foot facility in Reno, AEONrv has scaled rapidly—employing over 50 team members, fueling local job creation, and boosting in-house production. To date, the company has produced over 60 vehicles and is on track to exceed its goal of delivering 100 units by the end of 2025.
In addition to manufacturing success, AEONrv is investing in Nevada’s future through partnerships with the University of Nevada, Reno’s Mechanical Engineering Program and Manufacture Nevada. These programs provide hands-on internships that equip students with real-world experience in engineering, systems integration, and product development.
“We’re proud to innovate in our industry and invest in Nevada’s future,” added Ritchie. “By mentoring local engineering students and expanding our team here in Reno, we’re proving that high-tech manufacturing and cutting-edge innovation belong in Northern Nevada.”
As AEONrv continues to scale, it remains committed to growing its Reno roots—creating high-quality jobs, supporting education, and delivering high-tech recreational vehicles that push the boundaries of innovation.
The NCET Technology Awards, now in its 18th year, recognize companies and individuals driving technological advancement and community enrichment in Northern Nevada. AEONrv was formally honored at the NCET Tech Awards ceremony on May 20 at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno. Tickets and additional information are available at www.NCETawards.org.

GOSHEN, Ind. — Keystone RV, one of North America’s leading manufacturers of towable recreational vehicles, today announced two major leadership moves that signal the company’s aggressive evolution into the future: the appointment of Matt Christensen to lead several flagship brands, and the addition of Nick Johnson as the company’s first-ever Vice President of Marketing and Communications.
“Keystone is here to play offense,” said Jeff Runels, President & CEO of Keystone RV. “This is how Keystone operates — we are purpose-built, dealer-driven, and relentlessly customer-focused. With Matt and Nick stepping into these roles, we’re aligning expertise and energy in exactly the right places.”
Expanding his scope of responsibility, Matt Christensen now oversees both the Montana and Springdale/Hideout brands—two of Keystone’s most iconic product lines. Known for his product instinct, creative problem-solving, and dealer-centric approach, Christensen is charged with pushing innovation while staying rooted in the practical needs of real-world campers.
Meanwhile, Nick Johnson joins Keystone as Vice President of Marketing and Communications, the first to ever hold that title in the company’s history. This milestone underscores the increasingly critical role that marketing plays in the RV industry as it adapts to a new generation of campers. Johnson spent the last 14 years as a marketing and strategy leader at the University of Notre Dame, bringing a reputation of performance, strategic vision, and team culture.
“Nick’s ability to connect mission with message is exactly what Keystone needs as we sharpen our identity and expand our voice,” said Runels. “We are excited about what’s ahead.”
In supporting moves:
Jeff Rank, previously General Manager of Springdale and Hideout, has transitioned into the newly created role of Dealer Engagement GM. This position is designed to deepen relationships with Keystone’s dealer network and ensure consistent, two-way communication from the field to the factory.
Colin Dechant, former General Manager of the Montana brand, has moved on to new opportunities. “Colin made a real impact here,” Runels noted. “We’re grateful for his time at Keystone and wish him continued success.”
These leadership changes are part of Keystone’s broader transformation — one rooted in clarity, accountability, and a renewed focus on the customers and dealers who’ve made it a household name.

A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled that Trump overstepped his authority when he invoked the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act to declare a national emergency and justify the sweeping tariffs.
The tariffs overturned decades of U.S. trade policy, disrupted global commerce, rattled financial markets and raised the risk of higher prices and recession in the United States and around the world.
The U.S. Court of International Trade has jurisdiction over civil cases involving trade. Its decisions can be appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington and ultimately to the Supreme Court, where the legal challenges to Trump’ tariffs are widely expected to end up.
Which tariffs did the court block?
The court’s decision blocks the tariffs Trump slapped last month on almost all U.S. trading partners and levies he imposed before that on China, Mexico and Canada.
On April 2, Trump imposed so-called reciprocal tariffs of up to 50% on countries with which the United States runs a trade deficit and 10% baseline tariffs on almost everybody else. He later suspended the reciprocal tariffs for 90 days to give countries time to agree to reduce barriers to U.S. exports. But he kept the baseline tariffs in place. Claiming extraordinary power to act without congressional approval, he justified the taxes under IEEPA by declaring the United States’ longstanding trade deficits “a national emergency.”
In February, he’d invoked the law to impose tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China, saying that the illegal flow of immigrants and drugs across the U.S. border amounted to a national emergency and that the three countries needed to do more to stop it.
The U.S. Constitution gives Congress the power to set taxes, including tariffs. But lawmakers have gradually let presidents assume more power over tariffs — and Trump has made the most of it.
The tariffs are being challenged in at least seven lawsuits. In the ruling Wednesday, the trade court combined two of the cases — one brought by five small businesses and another by 12 U.S. states.
The ruling does leave in place other Trump tariffs, including those on foreign steel, aluminum and autos. But those levies were invoked under a different law that required a Commerce Department investigation and could not be imposed at the president’s own discretion.
