Meet this year's Manufacturing Leadership Champion:

Cedric Glasper, President & CEO of Warwick-based Mechanical Rubber, is a manufacturing leader known for his commitment to both industry and workforce. Since 1995, he has helped revitalize struggling facilities and preserve jobs through four strategic acquisitions that prevented plant closures and restored opportunity for displaced workers.

Cedric serves on the boards of the Council of Industry, the Association for Rubber Products Manufacturers, and the Ohio Manufacturers’ Association. During the COVID-19 pandemic, his leadership ensured operations continued and employees remained on the job.

Beyond his business leadership, Cedric is an active community advocate, serving organizations including the Orange County Workforce Investment Board and United Way.
