Meet our Receiving Manager, Karin Penniston!
Karin has been working here at RBS Activewear/Thunder Bridge Trading Company for over 13 years. She originally started as a screen printer and later advanced to take over the receiving department. Karin moved to Argyle all the way from Germany, where she grew up! Her parents still reside in Germany and she tries to visit at least once a year – and stock up on her German candy! Karin moved to Argyle because she fell in love with it and it felt like home to her. She has been in Wisconsin for 27 years.
As a receiving manager, Karin is in charge of all receiving and unpacking of incoming merchandise, counting products for each order to get ready for in house decoration such as screen print, and keeps track of inventory. Karin enjoys working with her co-workers and remembers all the times they’ve made her laugh.
“Being the receiving manager is a great responsibility because I am the one who counts products for every order,” Karin said. “I really enjoy the thinking that goes into it.”
Karin’s favorite product that RBS offers is tank tops because it means summer is here. RBS offers a wide range of tank tops from polyester material all the way to a typical cotton tank top.
When she isn’t working, she enjoys gardening and crochet. Karin is always bringing down her crochet towels for us to enjoy! She loves watching fantasy movies and the ID channel. A fun fact about Karin is that she is an amazing cook! Her best dish is German Rouladen, which are beef roll-ups filled with bacon, onions and dill pickle slices, with homemade potato dumplings - yum! Everyone at RBS loves to sample her cooking during our birthday potlucks, especially her German dishes!
