EHS and Compliance Manager

American Made. Technology Driven. Customer First.

Harriss & Covington operates in the same town where it began, and the same family that started the company in 1920 is still at the helm. More than a great made-in-America story, it’s an important strategic advantage for the leading brands served by Harriss & Covington. Being the best at what we do — manufacturing high-quality performance socks — is our only aim. In that pursuit, our medium-sized operation delivers every day for some of the world’s leading brands. And we’ve been doing it for more than 100 years. We think that says a lot about who we are and our approach to designing, sampling and manufacturing the very best socks.
