Crown Products Announces Retirement of Former Owner Bob Bickert

Bob Bickert, former president/owner and current managing director/business development of Crown Products LLC, announced his retirement April 1, 2013 after 18 years of exceptional leadership with the Mobile, Alabama-based supplier.

Bickert propelled Crown Products from a small, struggling company in 1996 to a well-respected supplier in the promotional industry. Within five years into Bickert's leadership, the company made Inc. magazine's list of fastest growing companies for two consecutive years. He did this by building Crown Products on a foundation of strong customer service and a "Whatever it Takes" philosophy—still the company's motto today.
