Manufacturing Manager, Daniel Anglemyer, didn’t take the traditional path into manufacturing, and that’s exactly why you’ll want to hear his story.
From hog barns and cage fights to union shops and now leadership at Hibshman, Daniel brings grit, humility, and a clear-eyed approach to modern manufacturing! In this episode, he opens up about how culture, not just equipment, drives real change on the shop floor.
You’ll hear how personal setbacks have transformed into leadership lessons, and why identifying and empowering emerging leaders in the industry is important. Additionally, he shares how technology is supporting the creation of a team-first, process-driven operation at Hibshman, where people show up, speak up, and take ownership.
If you care about building strong teams, growing future leaders, and creating a shop culture that works, this episode is for you.
