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.

A head for business, and a heart for people.

Our Values

Without our people, we have nothing. That’s why, 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: fair wages and health care for our employees, honest and transparent communication, integrity, and compassion.
