Chapco President and CEO Brian Weinstein sat down with ManufactureCT for the latest season of the Meet the Manufacturers podcast, a series that profiles the people and companies driving Connecticut’s manufacturing economy. The conversation covers Chapco’s roots, its culture, and the move into a new advanced manufacturing facility in Deep River.
Founded in 1964, Chapco has grown from a regional sheet metal job shop into a globally competitive contract manufacturing partner. The company is now in its second generation of family ownership, and that continuity comes through in the episode. Brian talks candidly about the balance every multi-generational business has to strike: keeping the flexibility and direct communication of a family company while building the disciplined processes a larger operation demands.
That tension, between staying close-knit and scaling responsibly, has shaped how Chapco invests, hires, and serves its customers across six decades.
