About CHAPIN
Ralph E. Chapin, together with his business partner and brother-in-law Frank Harris, offered it to his customers at the family’s hardware store in Oakfield, New York, when American houses were still lit with kerosene. When Chapin kept finding leaks in the tanks his customers brought in, he realized he could develop and offer a better solution. This expanded to include the production of pumps, hand sprayers, compressed air sprayers, and storage tanks.
They have been creating and manufacturing industry-leading residential and commercial sprayers, spreaders, irrigation, and accessories for more than a century. With American subsidiaries and global manufacturing facilities, Chapin is a multinational firm that is still expanding. Chapin, a US company with its headquarters in western New York, employs Americans in its plants and actively participates in and gives to the communities in which it operates. And the vast majority of Chapin goods are produced in the USA using materials from throughout the world.
