Four generations of bending and rolling heavy metal with Chicago Rolled Metal Products

The mother-daughter duo of Ginny Wendt-Vecchio and Jeanette Vecchio from Chicago Rolled Metal Products join The Fabricator Podcast to talk about the legacy behind their multigenerational family-owned business. They talk about operating the company through four generations in a Chicago's Brighton Park neighborhood, deciding the future of the business on a coin flip, and using a mix of old-school and modernized machines to bend and roll heavy metal. They also chat about some of CRMP's more notable projects, like Jay Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park, the Google Bay View Campus, State Farm Stadium in Phoenix, and the rebuilding of Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church in NYC.
