Legacy Product Line Gets a New Start in Clarksdale, Mississippi
CLARKSDALE, Miss. - Californer -- High Time Acquisitions, LLC. announces today its recent purchase of High Time Products, Inc. and its legacy Men's grooming brand, Bump Stopper®. The acquisition of Bump Stopper® from its Founder, H.R. Phillips, was led by the Managing Partner of High Time Acquisitions, LLC, Eric Brown, a veteran senior executive in the ethnic haircare industry.
Known for revolutionizing the Men's grooming category in 1972, Bump Stopper® and its family of products, was invented by H.R. Phillips because he recognized a need for a product that addressed ingrown hair, razor bumps, and razor rash. Leveraging his vast knowledge in chemistry and pharmaceuticals, Mr. Phillips invented a viable solution for men to achieve healthy skin. Mr. Phillips is also credited for creating an entirely new category in shaving retail sections throughout the world.
"It has been an honor and a pleasure to work with H.R. Phillips and his family over the past several months on the acquisition of Bump Stopper®," states Eric Brown. "Mr. Phillips was a pioneer and a visionary in our industry. My team and I look forward to building upon the strong foundation he laid and taking Bump Stopper® and High Time Products to new heights."
