Based in Sharon, MA and overseen by the Lipsett family, with Barry – the president/CEO at the helm – experienced 23% growth last year, “due to continued strong recovery during the pandemic, growth with key accounts, strong custom business, and inventory position for busy season,” COO Bruce Barnet said. In addition to making investments in key management positions, such as a new VP of Supply Chain, bringing on industry vet Dave Saracino to run sales, and promoting Jason Lipsett – son of owners Barry and Deb – to oversee marketing, Charles River continued its impressive charitable endeavors by donating tens of thousands of dollars in financial contributions, masks and apparel to various organization in need. The company is also delving into being more sustainably conscious, creating a new line of recycled polyester outerwear.
