About This Episode
Pete Wolf, owner of Robinson Rubber, shares his journey from growing up in rural Wisconsin to leading an 80-year-old manufacturing company with over 125 employees. We talk specialization in plastics, rubber, and LSR, why culture beats cheap part prices, modernizing legacy systems, and how manufacturers reduce total supply chain cost by focusing on reliability, people, and process discipline. A practical conversation on leadership, growth, and building a manufacturing business that lasts.
