In this episode of Growing Up B2B, your host Ed Delia speaks with Cindi Heyen, President and CEO of Jed Pool Tools and Northeastern Plastics.

Cindi shares how her father built a small injection molding company after losing his job, and how she and her husband Alan took over in 1989, eventually acquiring the business in 2005. The conversation covers their engineering backgrounds, the acquisition of Northeastern Plastics, managing seasonality, implementing ERP systems, and navigating Alan's health challenges. Cindi also discusses integrating her two sons into the business and her vision for simplification, succession, and long-term growth.
