Graham Brodock, president of Kris-Tech Wire in Rome, has been selected by MACNY, The Manufacturers Association, as its 2025 Manufacturers Wall of Fame inductee.
Brodock is being recognized for his visionary leadership and transformative impact at Kris-Tech Wire, where he has served as president since 2014.
Founded on strong family values, Kris-Tech is a third-generation business that has grown into an industry leader while maintaining its commitment to integrity, craftsmanship and customer service. Under his guidance, Kris-Tech has evolved from a small regional wire mill to a nationally recognized manufacturer. Brodock’s approach to leadership, which blends culture, employee wellness and cutting-edge manufacturing practices, has propelled the company into a new era of growth and success.
Brodock’s journey to leadership in manufacturing is unique. With no formal background in manufacturing or business, he studied art history as an undergraduate and went on to earn a master’s degree in ancient Greek and Latin from Cambridge University. He later taught high school Latin in Austin, Texas, before pivoting to the manufacturing industry by joining Kris-Tech Wire. His liberal arts education and diverse experiences have shaped his distinctive leadership style, emphasizing respect, personal growth, and a commitment to continuous learning.
Under Brodock’s leadership, Kris-Tech has fostered a culture built on trust, self-discipline and empowerment. By creating an environment where employees are encouraged to take ownership of their roles and contribute ideas for improvement, Brodock has cultivated a thriving culture of teamwork, cross-departmental collaboration, and ongoing professional development.
Graham will be honored by MACNY members and community leaders at MACNY’s 112th Annual Celebration of Manufacturing on May 22, at the SRC Arena & Events Center in Syracuse.
