Keith Brown Powers Up FactoryLink’s Next Chapter!

Welcome to The Gunn Show—Unplugged, today’s guest is none other than Keith Brown, the new commander-in-chief steering the helm at FactoryLink. Since 1987, FactoryLink has been the Midwest’s go-to technical sales and marketing outfit. Think industrial matchmaking for cutting tools, workholding gear, abrasives, metrology solutions, and more. On July 1, 2024, after cutting his teeth as VP of Sales & Marketing, Keith Brown took the reins and acquired the company outright—industrial distribution’s version of going solo at last. In 2025, Keith launched the next-level move: relocating FactoryLink’s headquarters from Ohio to Michigan, strategically positioning the company at the heart of the Great Lakes manufacturing ecosystem. What you can expect on today’s show: Keith’s take on leadership in legacy industries, his blend of sales chops and engineering precision, how he’s moving from distributor rep to distributor rep builder. So grab your favorite caffeine concoction, and buckle up: this episode is one heck of a ride into the machine‑lined frontier with Keith Brown, President of FactoryLink.
