During the 1980s, Mr. Much was the President and Chief Executive Officer of Hartmann Luggage. Under his leadership, the company had record-breaking sales as well as profits. Some of Mr. Much’s marketing accomplishments included creating an international sales and distribution network, becoming sole supplier to the world’s most exclusive retailers, and growing the brand’s recognition and dominance in the luxury goods market.
As a domestic manufacturer with 700 employees and three manufacturing facilities in Tennessee, Hartmann had to continually hone its production and distribution processes to remain competitive against a flood of lower-priced imports. Mr. Much led re-engineering initiatives that kept the company in the forefront of change.
