Planning growth in a modern fabrication shop with Colin Cosgrove

In this episode of The Fabricator Podcast, Colin Cosgrove, president and CEO of Laystrom Manufacturing in Chicago, discusses how a mid-sized fabrication shop can plan for growth intentionally while maintaining flexibility, culture, and operational focus. Cosgrove shares lessons from his time at a larger manufacturer, how Laystrom works with customers on design for manufacturability and cost reduction, and how the company is navigating tariffs and market uncertainty. He also talks about practical uses of artificial intelligence in manufacturing, workforce development challenges, how Laystrom uses book clubs as a leadership and development tool, and why manufacturing roles should be viewed as knowledge work.
