Ian Sandusky of Lakewood Machine & Tool returns to Rapid Fire Manufacturing to break down what is really happening across machining and manufacturing right now. From niche collapse to tariffs to the slowdown in major industries, Ian brings transparent, boots-on-the-floor insight that shop owners and machinists need to hear.
In this conversation we dig into:
• Why machining activity is lower than 2008 levels in some regions
• What’s driving the surprising collapse of long-protected machining niches
• Whether OEMs and big suppliers are absorbing specialty work
• The rise of private equity roll-ups in the machine shop sector
• How shop owners should think about selling, legacy, and exit strategies
• Why employee retention is becoming a survival skill for manufacturers
• How to train apprentices, retain veterans, and protect tribal knowledge
• The future of reshoring and high-value North American manufacturing
• What Ian predicts for 2025 and beyond in machining and manufacturing
This episode is packed with firsthand insight from someone who has lived the ups, downs, recessions, booms, and everything in between.
