Cato Takes Over NC Shop Talk!

December 27, 2022 By Nadeem Muaddi

The Hog Ring - Cato Takes Over NC Shop Talk

Phil Cato of Cato’s Custom Upholstery took over the the latest episode of NC Shop Talk!

NC Shop Talk is the industry’s first podcast. Although it’s usually hosted by Mal Maher of NC Carpet Binding & Equipment, Phil led the conversation this week.

It was definitely a fun one. They chatted about NC’s unique history, its latest offering of CNC machines, the importance of supporting veterans, and Phil’s decision to relocate his shop from Atlanta to Salt Lake City. Of course, there’s also a ton of off color jokes to keep you laughing throughout the episode.
