Unless it's changed hands again since, Dexter was acquired in 2012 by Houston private equity firm The Sterling Group.
But given the diversity of their holdings, I wouldn't be surprised if they have an interest in Lippert, too!
There is usually a lot confusion around these things, but I suspect the tie in that folks may be looking for is that Dexter sold their chassis division several year ago, which was subsequently bought by Drew Industries, which is the parent company of LCi ( Lippert ).
All of which probably has very little to do with whether a Dexter axle is better than a Lippert. As often as not, I suspect the axle "problems" we see are more down to the trailer manufacturer putting too small of an axle under the load.
For what it's worth, I have Dexters on three of my trailers, and Lippert on the fourth trailer, and they all work fine.
