No singular entity, brand, or product is more vital to the auto interior trade than https://www.thehogring.com/ (The Hog Ring) (THR). It is the central hub for industry news. More than just a source for jobs or a breeding ground for vendors, THR is the galvanizing force to the auto interior industry. The driving force behind this fantastic community is the dynamic Muaddi Brothers – Nadeem and Naseem. 
Naseem owns and operates the Delaware County Auto Upholstery, while Nadeem spearheads THR, owing from his 15 years of online media experience, including managing teams of editors, reporters, and producers at CNN Digital’s award-winning national news team.
NC Shop Talk welcomes the Muaddi Brothers for an informative and entertaining conversation. 
“The whole point about The Hog Ring is not about making ad dollars or money. We can't talk about someone's products or services genuinely and with authority unless we like their products or were using them ourselves in our shop.”
- Nadeem Muaddi
“To keep getting better, I enjoy looking at what's going on in other parts of the world.”
- Naseem Muaddi
In This Episode:

Is there anything about THR that frustrates the brothers?
Naseem talks about their work,  where his passion comes from, and how he hones his craft.
Naseem names which craftsmen he would choose as inspiration for his “robotrimmer.”
