Award-winning businessman Kory Anderson is an expert in engineering, manufacturing, casting, and welding. He became well-known for combining his engineering and casting skills to create the 150 HP Case, the largest steam engine in the world. He received over 50 million views on Facebook and YouTube from this multi-year endeavour, in addition to multiple publications in international news sites. He founded and currently serves as CEO of Anderson Industries, a Webster, South Dakota-based engineering and manufacturing firm. One of the few remaining foundries in America that specialises in grey and ductile iron castings weighing up to 5000 pounds, Dakota Foundry, was purchased by him in 2014. Given the nationwide kettlebell shortage during the Covid-19 outbreak, he redirected his staff to make exercise equipment.
