Eddie Blau

Blau may have dropped one spot on this year’s list, but the ingenuity of the former corporate attorney can’t be denied as Innovation Line increased sales by nearly 7% in 2020. Over 40% of its revenue came from hand sanitizer, gaiters and other PPE, which the company was already offering before the COVID-19 pandemic. By the easiest measure of success, Innovation Line has become one of the top 20 largest suppliers in the industry under Blau’s leadership and guidance.
