Beauchamp joined Carpenter in 2008 as national sales manager of its chemicals division. Twelve years later, he was promoted to CEO. Founded in 1950, Carpenter employs more than 6,500 people at its 70-plus locations worldwide.
The company manufactures polyurethane foams and related fibers and chemicals for a wide range of industries. In November 2023, Carpenter announced it would acquire the flexible foam assets of NCFI Polyurethanes’ Consumer Products division, which is based in Mount Airy, North Carolina, providing additional capacity to make foams from its Engineered Foams business, previously acquired from Recticel. Beauchamp is a graduate of Bethel and Southern Methodist universities. He was elected to serve a two-year term — from 2024 to 2026 — as the Center for the Polyurethanes Industry’s steering committee vice chair.
