OUR FOUNDER: KENNETH L. CHISM

Following WWII and his service as a B-17 pilot, Kenneth Chism founded The Chism Company, Inc. in 1951. Since then, we have grown from a small home improvement business into a recognized industry leader in fabric and metal shade and protective solutions. Our canvas shop and metal fabrication shop in San Antonio utilize some of the most advanced equipment and techniques in our industry. Ken Chism's commitments to quality, personal service, and technical innovation remain the cornerstones of our business in the 21st century.
