Turbo Flanges to Distribution with Donnie

from Machine Tool Maniacs Hosted by Matt Dvoracek

In Part 2 of our conversation with Donnie Carr, we pick up where the last episode left off. Donnie explains why he stepped away from Street Car Fabrication, what he learned during his time in machine tool sales, and how those experiences ultimately led to the launch of Pappy's Tool. We get into what it actually takes to build a distribution business from the ground up, how you earn the trust of manufacturers, why choosing the right product lines matters, and the realities of representing companies in an industry built on relationships. If you've ever wondered what goes into becoming a distributor in this industry or what life looks like on the other side, this episode offers an honest look at the challenges and opportunities behind building a business in manufacturing.
