Barry-Wehmiller has confirmed that Kyle Chapman has been elected Chairman of the Board. In this role, Chapman succeeds his late father, Bob Chapman, who led the company for five decades.
Kyle Chapman has served as President of Barry-Wehmiller since 2020 and as CEO since 2025. His election to Chairman builds upon the foundation established by his father and advances the organisation’s commitment to redefining success in business by showing that “it is possible to achieve extraordinary financial strength without compromising your commitment to people,” Chapman explained.
“Barry-Wehmiller is at an inflection point in its history,” said Chapman. “We’re poised for incredible growth. And as we grow, as we redefine success in business, we’re going to attract more talent, complete more acquisitions, develop more leaders and have more influence. People are going to want to adopt our methodology.”
