Barry-Wehmiller built its reputation by growing into a global capital equipment & consulting firm. But it’s our people-centric culture that defines who we are today. CEO Bob Chapman says “We measure success by the way we touch the lives of people."
Barry-Wehmiller is a $3+ billion provider of manufacturing equipment and engineering consulting for the corrugating, packaging and paper converting industries. Founded in 1885 in St. Louis, MO, Barry-Wehmiller has grown to nearly 11,000 associates from more than 80 acquisitions worldwide. Although the company, with its nine subsidiaries, is a recognized industry leader, CEO Bob Chapman prefers to talk instead about the company’s most important mission: building great people through its commitment to people-centric leadership. The company’s cultural vision statement, the Guiding Principles of Leadership, sums up Barry-Wehmiller’s unique approach to business: We measure success by the way we touch the lives of people.
