CEO World Class Industries
“That’s been very much a roller coaster ride,” CEO Brent Cobb said. “It’s started to get better but it’s still pretty touch-and-go.
The thing is, Hiawatha-based WCI’s emphasis on quick adaptation and worker training helps the company pivot to accommodate its customers’ supply disruptions.
“We have our workforce and systems set up that way to embrace (change),” Mr. Cobb said. “We think that’s an important quality we can bring to our customer. It differentiates us in the marketplace.”
That dates back to the company’s 1953 founding as Iowa Midland Supply, which catered to the region’s then-booming manufacturing sector. Mr. Cobb’s father Pat Cobb and another partner purchased the company in 1993, with the elder Mr. Cobb and another partner spinning off what’s today’s WCI.
