RTI CEO named to Crain’s Notables in Manufacturing
The 2022 Crain’s Notables in Manufacturing honorees highlight ingenuity, innovation, and inspiration. The list includes companies that are longtime businesses and new thinkers — from rolled steel to packaging for medical cannabis; from promoting manufacturing in local communities to a life sciences entity that keeps us healthy; from a business run by the son of Cuban immigrants to family-owned and -operated businesses that have been in Cleveland for years. These 25 notables in manufacturing are a diverse representation of hard work and commitment. In their various efforts in manufacturing, they provide jobs, drive the economy and point to the future — while standing on the shoulders of those who did the work in the past.
