There is more to this town than what you see on the surface, that makes it one of the most pivotal manufacturing regions in the U.S.
We explore what manufacturing means to this community, and those that contribute to its success.
Our locations and partners are a part of every community we work in and our customers, who are making things, are an integral part of that community and what drives it. We are telling their stories, our story of the manufacturing community of Louisville. We are joined by Amatrol who are shaping the future of the manufacturing workforce, Opus Integration who are bring the bourbon industry into the 21st century, to E&H of the Industrial Solutions Network that is the glue of building and supporting this community.

Watch the full sit-down interviewEveryone in manufacturing may be familiar with this story and you may be tired of hearing about it.
It's the workforce struggles at plants all around the country.
But we walk the facility of Amatrol, with Kent Powell, to talk about what they are doing and what it means to give someone the opportunity to be trained and find a career that changes lives.
Keeping the manufacturers running is the purpose of the inventory on the shelf, because otherwise it's simply just stuff. But modern distribution, isn't about stuff, its data, technology and services, which doesn't fit on shelves.
