Get to know us

Founded by twin brothers, Bob & Dave Asch, Twincraft first opened its doors in 1972 as a specialty bar soap manufacturer. But a lot has changed in the last 50+ years! Now located in Vermont and owned and run by the second generation, Peter & Rich Asch, we have expanded our manufacturing capabilities to include hot pour and liquid skincare, hair care, and personal care products – and bar soap, of course.

Our Values

A head for business, and a heart for people

From employees to customers to our greater Vermont Community, we strive to do right by everyone in our orbit. When it comes to treating people like people, there are a few things that are non-negotiable: honest and transparent communication, integrity, and compassion.

Milestones that made us

Our Story

We’ve come a long way since we first opened our doors in 1972! In the early days, we were a small specialty bar soap manufacturer. Today, we employ over 400 people with XXX square feet of manufacturing space, and have expanded our expertise to include hot pour products and liquid skincare, hair care, and personal care products. Check out how Twincraft has evolved over the past 50+ years:

1972

Twin brothers, Bob & Dave Asch, start Twincraft in Montreal, Canada

1980s

Bob & Dave open a U.S. branch in Winooski, Vermont

1990s

Peter & Richard Asch take over the business, transitioning Twincraft to the second generation. The Montreal branch is closed.

2000s

The Vermont bar soap facility manufactures specialty soap and becomes the first US bar soap manufacturer to join Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil in support of sustainable supply chains.

We open our first skincare facility and begin manufacturing liquid soap & skincare products.
