On this week’s episode of the NEW Manufacturing Insights podcast, Northeast Wisconsin Manufacturing Alliance Executive Director Ann Franz and Stoke RGA Owner/CEO Jen Fietz, filling in for regular co-host Kate Bruns of Insight on Manufacturing, interviewed Kiley Eck Hayon about the unique successes and challenges she has experienced as president of Eck Industries in Manitowoc.
Family owned since 1948 and initially created as a custom supplier for Harley Davidson, Eck has left a manufacturing heritage Hayon is proud of — particularly the metal forming technology it has perfected over three-quarters of a century.
“We make things that nobody else wants to make,” Hayon jokes on the episode.
Hayon goes on to talk about the rewards and challenges of working in a family business, why Eck Industries is committed to its capital investments in technology and, as is the case on every episode of the podcast, concludes by sharing her best leadership insight with listeners.
