CHARLOTTE, N.C., Oct. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Hipstik Legwear, LLC, a business specializing in size-inclusive and comfort-first, low-rise tights and pantyhose, is proud to announce national certification as a Women's Business Enterprise by the Greater Women's Business Council, a regional certifying partner of the Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC).
"For decades, products for women have been designed by men. Hosiery products on the market have been uncomfortably designed to control, squeeze and promote slenderizing with unrealistic sizing measures. As a professional businesswoman, I found this disturbing and wanted to be a change maker. Women-owned certification is a powerful statement, because I believe that products developed by women are best suited to meet women's real needs and desires," says Laura McGuire, founder and CEO of Hipstik.
WBENC's national standard of certification implemented by the Greater Women's Business Council is a meticulous process including an in-depth review of the business and site inspection. The certification process is designed to confirm the business is at least 51% owned, operated and controlled by a woman or women. By including women-owned businesses among their suppliers, corporations and government agencies demonstrate their commitment to fostering diversity and the continued development of their supplier diversity programs.
