IPCPR 2016: Nat Sherman

One of my last stops of the 2015 IPCPR Convention & Trade Show became my first stop this year, Nat Sherman.

The company took a different approach than many this year, striking true to their original plans rather than a flood of new products because of impending FDA regulations. It means there’s only one new line and a few extensions.

Ike Karipides told me everything is leaving the warehouse today.
