Chapman Smith supplies OEM manufacturers running recurring production parts. Whatever the end market, the work is similar: sourcing aluminum extrusions, steel tubing, castings and flat rolled steel, and coordinating the cutting, forming, welding and finishing that turn them into finished components.

Whatever the end market, buyers come to us for the same reason: one finished part on one PO, instead of managing a mill, an extruder, a laser shop, a welder and a powder coater separately.
We coordinate every operation and the freight between shops.
We run first article and our own PPAP before your PPAP sees the part.
Inventory is held in our warehouse and released on your schedule.
Combined volume across several OEMs lowers material cost. On extrusions, we pay for the die.
