Cast iron and fabricated gate manufacturer with operational scaling focus
Rodney Hunt is a 184-year-old cast iron gate and valve manufacturer headquartered in Orange, MA, now in a manufacturing-heavy hiring cycle (6 of 15 active roles in production). The tech stack reflects mid-market manufacturing ops: NetSuite, Salesforce, SAP S/4HANA, and Epicor for inventory and order management alongside SolidWorks and AutoCAD for design. Active projects center on lean manufacturing, SOP standardization, and automated project tracking — signaling internal focus on process discipline and cost control rather than product innovation.
Rodney Hunt manufactures cast iron gates, fabricated gates, and valves for flood control and wastewater applications.

The 11–50 person operation is structured around welding and sheet metal production, supported by planning and finance functions. Current scaling efforts target production efficiency, order-to-delivery accuracy, and spare-parts inventory management.
