Elizabeth Shissler, President & Chief Operating Officer of Sea Bags, LLC. was born and raised in Maine.

Shissler left Maine for college and business school, and gained experience working for global companies. After extensive time with overseas companies she returned to Maine and bought into, incorporated and built Sea Bags, a privately owned company that designs and manufacturers tote bags and other products from recycled sails. Sea Bags products are now sold globally and are designed and manufactured in Portland, Maine. Currently Sea Bags employs nearly eighty people and owns nine retail stores with plans for four more in 2017. Sea Bags still operates on the founding principles on being green in product/practice, being made in Maine and acting as good stewards to our community and State.
