Ep. 73 (4/24/25): Marion Body Works President Kevin Ignacio

President Kevin Ignacio of Marion Body Works joins this week's episode to talk about the 120-year-old manufacturing company that has been owned by his family since 1980. The company that started out making milk wagons now manufactures commercial van bodies, custom cabs for fire truck chassis manufacturers, all-aluminum fire apparatus and more. Kevin tells co-hosts Kate Bruns and Ann Franz about the career path that led him back to the family business he's been around with his whole life -- including following the family rule to work somewhere else first, the challenges of handing down a business through three generations, and the pros and cons of running a company in a small community like Marion, Wisconsin. (The company currently has locations in both Marion and Shawano.)This week's episode is sponsored by Werner Electric Supply.
