The 2013 IW Manufacturing Hall of Fame class, like its four predecessors, is a diverse group. This year's eight inductees manage (or managed) companies that make 3-D printing machines; wire and cable; paint; packaging equipment; industrial equipment; trucks; truck engines; and aircraft and aerospace systems.
