In this episodoe of the Rust Belt Rundown, we’re joined by Andy McCartney, President of Bowden Manufacturing. Andy leads the conversation with lessons about leadership and teamwork learned from his experience in the Navy and from his love of sports. Being the president of a manufacturing organization, Andy knows the importance of workforce retention and keeping the interest of all generations. Bowden Manufacturing knows it’s no longer good enough to have a good job; people want a great job and great opportunities.

Paul and Andy finish their conversation with a quick check in of their March Madness brackets and Andy gives his restaurant recommendation. As an east-sider, Andy and his family love Sara’s Place by Gavi’s in Gates Mills.

Tune in to their conversation to hear how this manufacturing organization is staying true to their team and the changes they have made over the years to attract and keep quality employees.
