About Capstan Systems

Capstan is a prominent player in the powder metal manufacturing industry, based in Los Angeles, North America. The company specializes in forming powder metal structural components using mechanical multi-level driven presses that exert pressures ranging from 2 to 800 tons. Capstan works with a variety of materials including stainless steel (300 and 400 series), copper, bronze, iron compositions, and is currently developing four aluminum series, with 6061 being the most common. The company serves a diverse range of industries such as automotive, industrial motors, medical, and aerospace.

Capstan's business model revolves around producing high-quality powder metal components that meet exact specifications and exceed customer expectations. The company prides itself on delivering these components at competitive prices and in a timely manner. Capstan generates revenue by selling these specialized components to its clients, who rely on the company's expertise and precision in manufacturing.

The company has a rich history, with key leadership figures contributing to its success over the years. Bonnie, who joined Capstan 45 years ago, has played a crucial role in the company's growth. Chapin Paullin, a third-generation member of the founding family, joined the company in 2012 and has been instrumental in expanding the Capstan brand and developing new programs. Chapin currently serves as the Vice President of Sales.

Capstan's ability to produce components that can withstand extreme environments, including high and low thermal levels, high pressure, and impact stress loading, sets it apart in the market. The company's commitment to quality and innovation makes it a trusted partner for its clients.
