Narrow fabrics supplier Bo-Buck Mills Inc. has hired Carl Carpenter as vice president of sales and marketing. Following a training period, he will assume the duties of Executive Vice President Gary Richert, who will retire March 1, 2021.
Carpenter’s responsibilities at the Chesterfield, South Carolina-based company will include management of existing accounts and new business development, as well as overseeing advertising, trade show participation, web presence and overall brand management.
He brings 30 years of experience in the textile industry to his new post, including two decades with tape supplier CT Nassau Corp. as vice president of manufacturing. During his long tenure, he is credited with helping major mattress makers find new uses for mattress tape, turning it from a utilitarian component to a decorative accessory.
