How2Exit: Buy, Don't Build - M&A of Small Businesses
How2Exit Episode 58: Reg Zeller - Founder and CEO of CaneKast.

His company has purchased six businesses over the last five years, and is in the process of creating a coast-to-coast network of metal casters. The businesses think of themselves as “a startup, inside 60 year
old companies, as part of a 6000 year old industry.” The company has averaged 50% growth with plans
to continue that trajectory over the next five years, at which point they will turn their attention to the next small manufacturing roll-up. Before purchasing the first foundry, Reg worked at four Fortune 500 companies in everything from engineering to M&A to general management.
