Episode 34: Ripley Machine Tool with NTMA member Andy Reinwald
Today’s guest, Andy Reinwald of Ripley Machine and Tool, is an under 30 owner of a jobshop that he purchased from his grandfather in 2015. We discuss what he has done since taking over the shop, why and how he has focused on a low budget digital approach to sales and marketing, and the different ways he acquires the knowledge that he has not yet had the experience to live through. In the short time Andy has been a shop owner, Ripley Machine and Tool has seen tremendous sales growth and been recognized as a Modern Machine Shop Top Shop in 2018 and Andy himself has been singled out as an Emerging Leader by Production Machining in 2019 and a 30 under 30 Emerging Leader by our friends, the National Tooling and Machining Association.
