About the New Champion Members
Twincraft Skincare, headquartered in Winooski, is a family-owned contract manufacturer with more than 50 years of experience producing personal care and beauty products for more than 140 national and international brands.

Chartered in 1828, Vermont Mutual Insurance Group is one of the oldest mutual property and casualty insurers in the United States.

At the heart of Vermont Mutual’s identity is their commitment to its people. The company has been named one of the Best Places to Work in Vermont for eleven consecutive years; and their Charitable Giving Fund has distributed more than $6 million to nonprofit organizations.
