Houston-based Maintenance Metals was founded in 1989 as a distributor of hot-dipped galvanized steel, fabricated components and mill supplies used in the Gulf Coast Petrochemical landscape. Today, under the direction of co-founder and Managing Partner Ronny Ravkind, Maintenance Metals has morphed into a 12-employee master distributorship that specializes in galvanized pipe and pipe fittings, stocking almost 1,000 different hot-dipped galvanized products.
Supply House Times recently talked to Ravkind about the company’s evolution, his employees, what customer service means to Maintenance Metals and how his religious faith has shaped the master distributor’s footprint over the years.
