    Richard Witham: How Motion Dynamics Built a Culture That Precision Demands

    Motion Dynamics started as an automotive contract manufacturer in 1992. Today, the majority of what they make goes into medical devices and aerospace components. That kind of shift doesn't happen by accident, and it doesn't hold together without the right people. Richard Witham is a sales engineer at Motion Dynamics and the grandson of its founder. In this episode, host Jason Piasecki talks with Richard about how a West Michigan manufacturer built a culture rooted in communication, ownership, and precision, and why those values are inseparable from the quality their customers depend on. They also get into how Motion Dynamics hires for character over credentials, and why the president sits in on every second interview.
