Does a successful corporate transformation begin with a loud public relations campaign, or with two new owners quietly rolling up their sleeves alongside their factory team? Robb Smedema, the VP of Sales at Robbins LLC, reveals the gritty, heads-down reality of rebuilding a classic brand over an intense 18-month period. Robb discusses the immense focus required to take over operational management following the company's acquisition from Hexpol by Karo Ventures. From working deep on the production floor building envelopes and rubber to navigating the complex daily realities of small business ownership, this conversation is a masterclass in operational commitment. He shares the raw reality of stabilizing a workforce during transitional uncertainty and outlines the strategic rebrand connecting Muscle Shoals, Alabama—a town famous for its rich musical legacy with the likes of the Rolling Stones and Aretha Franklin—directly to a future designed to last for the next 100 years.
