DUDE Wipes
Founded in 2011 in Chicago, IL, DUDE Wipes is an insurgent personal hygiene brand created by childhood friends who wanted to disrupt the toilet paper market with the notion that “wet cleans better than dry”. Since its founding, DUDE Wipes has continued to take share within the growing flushable wipes segment of the bath tissue market and capture consumers by combining its high-performance products with irreverent, authentic branding.
Founders Sean Riley, Chief Executive Officer, Jeff Klimkowski, Chief Financial Officer, and Ryan Meegan, Chief Marketing Officer, will retain significant ownership stakes and continue to lead the company in their current executive roles. Existing shareholder and long-time “Shark Tank” investor, Mark Cuban, is also continuing to bet on the company through this next phase of growth.
The partnership with TSG Consumer will support the company’s efforts to broaden household adoption, reach new consumer segments, and deepen manufacturing relationships and retail partnerships.
