Made in Montana: Paddy Fleming on Leadership, Legacy & Manufacturing

In this episode, we sit down with Paddy Fleming, Director of the Montana Manufacturing Extension Center (MMEC). Paddy shares his journey from growing up in small-town Montana to leading manufacturing operations across North America and Europe.

We talk about leadership, learning from others, and the experiences that shaped his career—from solving complex problems to managing teams and driving improvement. As Paddy puts it, “There’s something quite satisfying watching trucks roll out full of material that you made.”

Today, through MMEC, he’s helping Montana manufacturers strengthen their businesses, innovate, and build the next generation of industry across the state.
