From his early days sweeping factory floors to leading the company as President, Drew Sutphen has dedicated nearly 50 years to Sutphen Corporation with a hands-on leadership style rooted in hard work, innovation, and family values.

Drew began his career as a welder and assembler at Sutphen’s Dublin facility, eventually transitioning into a leadership role within the family-owned business. He launched his leadership journey at Sutphen’s chassis facility, where he played a pivotal role in expanding manufacturing capabilities and product offerings. His leadership helped establish Sutphen as a manufacturer of the most extreme-duty fire chassis in the industry.

After more than a decade leading the chassis division, Drew was appointed President of Sutphen Corporation in 1997. Over the next 28 years, he guided the company through unprecedented growth, including the expansion of operations in Dublin, Ohio, and the opening of a 185,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Urbana.

In March 2025, Drew transitioned from his role as President and now serves on the company’s Board of Directors. In this capacity, he remains actively involved in shaping Sutphen’s strategic direction and supporting the next generation of leadership.

Outside of his professional responsibilities, Drew enjoys spending time with his family and remains deeply connected to the values that have guided both his career and personal life.
