FOUNDERS - MANAGEMENT TEAM

---

Steve Slabine, CEO, is one of the most experienced executives in the single-use dental flosser industry. In 1981, in advance of forming Plackers Corp., he along with colleagues in another business marketed the first dental flosser in the industry. The dental flossers sold under the Mother Hubbard brand and were sold to CVS and other US chain accounts. In 1985, he co-founded Plackers Corporation with the patent holder. They  manufactured and sold the Plackers brand and manufactured the Gillette Oral-B Divisions Flossettes on an OEM basis. After selling his interest in Plackers, he founded Lordan Laboratories, Inc., which marketed Plakettes dental flossers, Plakettes whitening flossers and Dr. Mikey’s dental flossers for kids. During his career,  he grew industry sales from a startup to about $20M at factory billings ($50M at retail) on a global basis. In addition, he fabricated more than ten industrial-use dental flosser machine centers, and he has manufactured and sold over two billion dental flossers.
