If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to turn raw materials into the gear fleets depend on every day, this Faces of Fleet episode is for you.
Lauren Fletcher goes behind the scenes with Joe Mossbarger and Brian Seeley, two plant managers at Buyers Products, to talk about the people side of heavy manufacturing and what it’s like leading in roles where the pace can be nonstop and the margin for error is basically… winter.
Mossbarger oversees Buyers’ aluminum toolbox and stainless manufacturing divisions, while Seeley's background in heavy manufacturing fuels his love of taking flat steel and transforming it into real-world equipment, including municipal plows. Both share how they found their way to Buyers, what keeps them excited about the work, and the pride that comes with seeing your products out on the road doing the job.
And because Faces of Fleet is never just a resume read, the conversation takes a turn into the hobby that keeps them sharp outside the plant: mountain biking. They talk about how getting out on the trails helps them reset after high-pressure days, how riding has turned into an unexpected team connector at work, and what happens when trail confidence meets gravity (yes, there are crash stories, and yes, helmets earn their keep).
