Episode 238: Robotics, Efficiency, and Building a Competitive Edge with Dan Pantano, President & CEO, alphabroder

Dan Pantano is the President and CEO of alphabroder –  Prime Line, one of the foremost leaders in the industry. With more than 90,000 customers, they ship over 50,000 boxes and more than a million units of product a day. It’s a massive operation, and we chat with Dan about some of the most pressing issues facing alphabroder and our industry, including:

  • How they are building a more streamlined operation with a wider footprint

  • The introduction of robots into their warehouse and the downline impact

  • And since Dan’s notoriously competitive, we talk about where this comes from and he provides some great insight on why we set our goals too low (we think you’ll love his conviction on this.)

  • And finally, Dan is running for the PPAI board, we chat about what he considers the most pressing issue limiting industry growth and where he will invest his time and energy for the future

Join us as we welcome back Dan to the skucast!
