In this episode of Lead to Succeed, host Steve Arwood talks with Gina Thorsen, CEO of Jacquart Fabric Products, home of the iconic Stormy Kromer brand. Gina shares how the Ironwood-based company is expanding its reach through collegiate licensing, now working with 38 schools from Ohio to Wyoming, while navigating the complexities of manufacturing, workforce, capacity, sourcing, and growth. The conversation also looks beyond the Stormy Kromer label at Jacquart’s contract manufacturing work and the strategy behind growing a U.P.-based company with a national customer base.
