26 members of Team Freedman by Lippert laced up their running shoes and took part in the annual JPMorganChase Corporate Challenge, joining companies from across Chicagoland for an evening of teamwork, wellness, and community impact.​
​
This year’s event supported Association House of Chicago, a Chicago-based organization dedicated to empowering individuals, supporting families, and strengthening communities through education, workforce development, behavioral health, and social services.​

It's been one year since Lippert completed the acquisitions of Freedman Seating and Trans/Air Mfg.; two strategic additions that strengthened Lippert’s diversification across the transportation vehicle markets.​
​
Together, these partnerships reflect Lippert’s commitment to expanding capabilities, unlocking new growth opportunities, and delivering greater value to customers under ONE Team, ONE Lippert. ​
​
As we recognize this milestone, we celebrate the momentum built over the past year and, most importantly, thank our dedicated team members at Freedman, Trans/Air, and across Lippert whose collaboration, expertise, and shared focus continue to turn strategy into impact as we build what’s next - 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫.​
