OWENSBORO, KY, April 23, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Travis Robbins has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Mr. Robbins serves as president of WPT Nonwovens Corporation, a leading manufacturer of nonwoven textiles headquartered in Beaver Dam, Kentucky. Since taking on the role in 2021, he has played a central role in the company's continued expansion and innovation. Under his leadership, WPT completed the design and construction of a state-of-the-art greenfield facility—home to the largest nonwoven production line for filtration materials in the United States. Opened in 2024, the facility has received strong support from both industry partners and clients.

A veteran and advocate for those who have served, Mr. Robbins also spearheaded the launch of WPT's Veterans First hiring initiative, which ensures that military veterans make up over 10% of the company's workforce.

His leadership journey at WPT began in 2013 as plant manager. By 2017, he was promoted to vice president and general manager, leading major strategic projects such as the establishment of a second manufacturing site and installation of a new filtration line. In 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Mr. Robbins led a rapid initiative to produce American-made personal protective equipment. Within just 50 days, his team secured FDA certifications and launched production—making WPT one of the first companies to respond effectively to the urgent national need.

Mr. Robbins' connection to WPT is rooted in family history. His grandfather founded the company after rescuing it from closure during the 2008 financial crisis. Prior to joining the family business, Mr. Robbins served in the U.S. Army, where he led a reconnaissance platoon during Operation Iraqi Freedom. He was honorably discharged in 2010, bringing with him a deep sense of discipline, resilience, and leadership that continues to shape his career.

He earned his Bachelor of Science in global leadership, cum laude, from the University of Evansville in 2014. Raised by a single mother in a small Kentucky town, Mr. Robbins attributes his success to the values of perseverance and hard work instilled early in life.

In addition to his corporate leadership, Mr. Robbins is deeply involved in both industry and civic organizations. He is an active member of the Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry, and serves on the boards of the Ohio County Chamber of Commerce and the Green River Area Industrial Center. He is also a charter member of Go Fame, which sponsors industrial students at Owensboro Community College.
