Scott Lakey, formerly employed at Lodge Cast Iron, has joined Inductotherm Corp. as the new Manager of Customer Training. He will oversee Inductotherm’s customer training program. Scott brings 27 years of experience from Lodge Cast
Iron in Tennessee—an Inductotherm customer—where he served as Plant Manager before advancing to Director of Foundry Operations, retiring in 2024. This experience provided Scott with a wealth of information regarding the inner workings of a foundry and makes him a prime candidate to
pass on knowledge to Inductotherm’s
customers. “After retiring from a long career in foundry
operations, I knew I wanted to do something next, though I wasn’t sure what that would be,” Scott said on the decision. “I always joked that I liked talking about foundries more than actually running one. So, when the opportunity to join Inductotherm as Manager of Customer Training came along, it felt like the perfect next step. Throughout my career, I had always been impressed by the integrity and ethics of everyone I worked with at Inductotherm. Given this, it was an easy decision to join an organization I deeply respected and trusted.” To enroll in Inductotherm’s customer training, please call (609) 287-9000 and ask to speak with the Training Department, or visit
