Reg Zeller is the Founder and CEO of Cane Kast, a fast growing manufacturing business he acquired in 2017. As you’ll hear in this episode, Reg’s background in Corporate America gave him both the foundational experience AND the motivation to take a shot on his own. He’s taken the strengths of his past and tried to shed some of the “bad stuff” as he’s charted his business on a hyper growth trajectory. We cover all facets of scaling a small manufacturing business through a roll-up/acquisition strategy. Entrepreneurship through acquisition (ETA) is a massive opportunity, but it is too often glamorized as a deal making gaming. That’s important, but it’s MAYBE 5% of the hard work needed for successful outcomes.
