St. Louis, Missouri based Barry-Wehmiller, has announced that Kyle Chapman will assume the role of CEO, in addition to his existing role as President, effective immediately. Bob Chapman, who has served as CEO since 1975, will continue to serve as Chairman of the Board and majority shareholder.
The company has been led by a Chapman since 1957, when William A. Chapman became President after joining Barry-Wehmiller four years prior. Company ownership was transferred to the Chapman family in 1963, and Bill’s son, Bob, joined the company in 1969.
“Our primary responsibility is to ensure a business model where the people in our span of care experience meaningful work, feel safe and valued, and are confident in our shared future,” said Bob Chapman.
“Through this transition, we will continue to work together as father and son, as two stewards of our 12,000-plus team members.”
Kyle Chapman added, “I’m honored and committed to building on my dad’s legacy by demonstrating that a company can achieve extraordinary financial strength without compromising its commitment to people.”
