In the midst of the surge of COVID-19 cases, CEO Doug Brown said he envisioned the expansion in October 2020, but didn't know when or who would construct it. The new warehouse was imagined due to the increase in workload and working relationships with other businesses that needed Lippert's service.
Founded in April 1976, Lippert focuses on purchasing obsolete and slow-moving inventory to help businesses free up capital and lower operating costs.
Lippert came to Ashland's Industrial Park in 1995 due to the great land proposition and development, Brown said. Most employees lived in Ashland so it made sense to move its headquarters from Mansfield to Ashland in May 2000.
