Scott Baxter, chairman, president and CEO of Kontoor Brands, discussed the company's acquisition of Helly Hansen for roughly $900 million in a February 2025 interview with Jim Cramer on "Mad Money." Baxter said the acquisition gave Kontoor both an outdoor and workwear brand, describing it as a "really nice fit" that offers a growth opportunity.

Baxter has also emphasized Kontoor's commitment to Greensboro, North Carolina, stating in a 2019 interview that he was "100 percent committed" to keeping the company's headquarters there and investing in the community.
