MFG Austin Ep 10: Rick Loofs, COO at Cangshan Cutlery

Rick Loofs was most recently General Manager for NOV in Cedar park but he took the opportunity to lead the development of Cangshan’s new Leander based manufacturing and distribution facilities for North America. Cangshan makes culinary knives found everywhere from CostCo to William Sonoma and now they will be made in Leander, Texas. Our discussion focuses on the size and scope of this new plant as well as Rick’s dedication to servant leadership, helping people achieve their best life, and how this approach changes the way he builds teams and gets results for the organization.
