George LaCapra spent nearly a decade on the factory floor before becoming president of his family’s metal-finishing business. When his brother chose a different path, George moved into the office and worked his way up.
On Growing Up B2B, host Ed Delia speaks with George, President of UniMetal Surface Finishing, about how a 2011 merger with a respected competitor expanded the company’s capabilities, why integrating the cultures of two facilities took years, and how his 88-year-old father still contributes while giving the next generation room to lead. George also describes a hands-on, accredited training program developed with industry competitors to prepare new workers for a trade most people can’t study in school.
