Shelton-based Edgewell is changing supply chain leadership as it pushes ahead with cost-cutting and manufacturing changes.
Shelton-based Edgewell Personal Care Co. has replaced its top supply chain executive as the consumer products maker accelerates a restructuring initiative tied to manufacturing and operational changes.
In a securities filing Tuesday, Edgewell said Paul Hibbert will no longer serve as chief supply chain officer effective June 1. The company said Hibbert will receive payments and benefits under its executive severance plan.
Edgewell, which owns brands including Schick, Banana Boat and Wet Ones, also announced that Anthony Freve will join the company as chief supply chain officer effective June 1.
The company did not disclose a reason for the leadership change.
The executive transition
comes weeks after Edgewell said it was expanding a restructuring initiative focused on simplifying operations and improving efficiency, including additional consolidation within its wet shave business.
Earlier this month, Edgewell said it expects to record about $90 million in restructuring-related charges during fiscal 2026, up from a prior estimate of $65 million, as it navigates tariff pressures and weaker North American sales.
The company, which owns brands including Schick, Banana Boat and Wet Ones, also recently announced plans to close its Schick manufacturing facility in Milford, a move expected to affect 293 workers over the next two years.
