ADAMS FASHION HEADWEAR SOLD TO WHISPERING PINES

Whispering Pines Sportswear has purchased Adams Fashion Headwear. The founder of Adams Headwear, Ron Adams, is retiring but will stay on as a consultant during the transition.

Whispering Pines has been distributing Adams' products for a few years from its North Carolina location, while the company headquarters remained in Florida. Whispering Pines hopes to expand the Adams Headwear line.

Former Adams President Mark Delucca and general manager Marie Delucca will join Whispering Pines to head up the new Adams division.
