Kapco Metal Stamping is the Midwest’s premier contract manufacturer of metal components, trusted by some of the world’s biggest brands to make the precision metal parts that bring their products to life. Kapco’s specialties include stamping, fabrication, welding, and other metal fabrication solutions.
“When I think of one word that perfectly summarizes how I feel about joining Kapco, its opportunity,” Scharinger said. “Between our fantastic manufacturing operations team, industry-leading equipment, and an incredible group of customers, the future is bright for Kapco, not just as a manufacturing organization but as a beacon of positive impact in the lives of our employees and our community.”
“Other initiatives, including the Kacmarcik Center for Human Performance, whose mission is to help people achieve their best life, both professionally and personally, are so unique, it solidified my decision to join the organization,” Scharinger said. “I’m proud to be part of the team and excited to deliver results for Kapco, our customers, and the community.”
