## Summary

Teresa Huber, President & CEO of Intervala, discusses the company's history, including its acquisition seven years ago to save 150 jobs, and its strategic growth through four acquisitions to maintain dual US manufacturing sites in New Hampshire and Pittsburgh. She details how a catastrophic flood on Christmas Eve 2019 necessitated a rapid relocation, strengthening customer relationships through resilience and partnership with suppliers like Koh Young. Huber explains that Intervala serves high-reliability markets (defense, medical, industrial) by prioritizing automation to mitigate talent shortages and offering short lead times that justify US manufacturing costs over offshore options.
