Doug Rende CEO/President Featured Panelist at Manufacturing Advocacy and Growth Network
Great morning of insight and collaboration at the Lodge at Geneva-on-the-Lake!
SHAPES Unlimited CEO Doug Rende was honored to serve as a featured panelist at MAGNET’s regional manufacturing event, joining industry leaders from across Northeast Ohio to discuss operational efficiency, workforce development, and the importance of public-private collaboration.
Doug shared SHAPES’ philosophy on driving change, investing in people, and the role manufacturers must play in shaping regional economic growth:
“If you’re willing to accept the status quo, you’re dead—you just don’t know it yet. Growth and change are critical.”
A big thank you to MAGNET, Growth Partnership for Ashtabula County, Lake to River Economic Development, and the Youngstown-Warren Regional Chamber for championing manufacturing across 26 counties in Ohio.
