New Char-Broil CEO, Tom Penner, sat down for an interview on a local Sunday morning program last weekend and touched on a number of topics. While the conversation was high-level for the most part, there were a few interesting details in it. Char-Broil is a family owned business, so any details about the company are hard to come by.
Moving Manufacturing
With Covid lock-downs and geopolitical tensions, Char-Broil has made an effort to move their manufacturing out of China over the past year. According to Tom Penner, they’ve been successful in increasing the amount produced outside of China to 30% of their total production.
