Kevin and Ira bring decades of hands-on experience in welding, machining, product design, and leadership.

That same work ethic and innovation continue to drive Rut Manufacturing today.
I got my first job when I was fourteen at a body shop where I helped repair and paint cars. This being my first job, it opened my eyes to what it takes to do quality work. After my first week on the job, I realized that if I didn’t do my job well, then the next employee couldn’t complete theirs either.
As I entered the workforce, I developed new skills and abilities. It seemed as though steel and metalwork were calling my name. After being a production welder for some time, I wanted to broaden my skill set. I started studying CNC machining, AutoCAD, and product design. I started understanding the manufacturing process. Then I got the opportunity to be the shop foreman at a fabrication company. After finding success in this position, I realized I could own and operate my own business. I partnered up with my brother and started our first company in my backyard.
I vividly remember my Dad taking me to my first job when I was twelve. He arranged for me to work on a tobacco farm in Ledford, NC. As I watched the sun come up over the fields, I felt the excitement, nervousness, and wonder. By the end of that day, I thought there had to be a better way to do this job. As I got older and took on other jobs, I found myself asking the same question. It didn’t matter if I worked in a hosiery mill, a lumberyard, or a manufacturing plant. I always wanted to find an easier and better way.
I joined the Navy shortly after high school because I wanted to see more of the world. While in the military, I learned about discipline, honor, and integrity. After the Navy, I moved back to Denton, NC, and went to work as a welder.
Then I came across an opportunity to try my hand at Sales. I said to myself: If I am going to be in sales, I will do so on my terms. I wanted to be honest and give the customer the best product to fit their needs. I didn’t want to try to push someone into something they cannot afford or need. My policy of honesty and integrity in the sales process allowed me to almost triple the sales of a company in just 18 months. With the ambition to do more and go farther, I then teamed up with my brother to start our own business.
