Lighting A Path

In business: Leading by example

Medlock left an early career in carpentry to bring his talent and drive to the diecutting/diemaking arena. His natural affinity for leadership blossomed as he rose quickly through the roles of diemaker, shop general manager, and vice president of production at Jamison Steel Rule Die. In 1991, he realized his dream of company ownership with the launch of Indian Trail, N.C.-based Stafford Cutting Dies, which provides dies to the corrugated industry.
