Fredy Montalban has been a valued member of the Ledwell family since 2008. He began his journey in the Tank Shop as a welder, honing his skills before transitioning to the Fabrication Shop, where he manufactured vacuum tanks. Today, Fredy is a Bobcat Tech at Ledwell’s sister company, Ledwell Machinery.
Reflecting on his career evolution, Fredy says, “I liked welding, but really enjoy what I am doing now. Every machine is different, and finding each issue makes it a challenge.”
One of his proudest achievements was helping to design a hydraulic cooling system for a specific machine. “It brought Ledwell and Ledwell Machinery teams together to solve a problem for a customer,” he shares with pride.
He is incredibly proud to work at Ledwell because of the supportive environment created by his supervisor and the company owners. “They take care of you and look out for you,” he says.
Fredy believes the most important skill he has gained is a willingness to learn, which continues to serve him well as he tackles new challenges daily.
Outside of work, Fredy and his wife, Ceydi, are raising three children—two girls and a boy. His greatest source of inspiration is his mom. “She always pushed us to do better and make us the best people we could be,” Fredy reflects.
We are grateful to have Fredy on the Ledwell team and look forward to seeing what challenges he tackles next!
