What NuRay Metals does

Nu-Ray Metals is a West Coast manufacturer of metal roofing panels, siding panels, trim, and related accessories for residential and commercial applications. Founded in 1981 by Tim Bankers and headquartered in Puyallup, Washington, the company operates manufacturing facilities in Puyallup, WA and Perris, CA, plus pickup/will-call locations in Auburn, WA and Kent, WA. Its product portfolio spans eleven panel profiles (NRM-1000 through NRM-9000) covering exposed-fastener, clip-lock, snap-lock, anti-siphon, structural, and corrugated systems, differentiated by five proprietary paint and coating systems — D2 Kynar with Ocean Guard (50-year warranty), Select Plus (40-year, produced by PPG), D2 Kynar, Natural Matte, and Zincalume Plus (20-year) — applied over galvanized G-90 base steel in 20-29 gauge thicknesses. Accessories include snow retention, fencing, soffit, underlayment, sealant, and Snap-Z clip systems.

The company generates revenue through B2B hardware sales to a network of roofing contractors and building material dealers across Washington, Oregon, and California; end customers (primarily homeowners and agricultural/post-frame builders) interact with Nu-Ray indirectly via the dealer locator on the company website. Pricing is project-based and dealer-quoted, with end-customer installed pricing ranging from approximately $7-$12 per square foot for exposed-fastener systems to $10-$18+ for standing seam/concealed-fastener systems, depending on panel type, gauge, finish, roof complexity, and labor. Nu-Ray is currently a private subsidiary; it was historically part of the Gibraltar Building Products portfolio within Gibraltar Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: ROCK) and, per a January 2026 announcement, was acquired by OmniMax International, a Strategic Value Partners portfolio company, with Heritage Capital Group advising OmniMax on the transaction. The leadership team remains a mix of long-tenured operations, technical, and territory sales managers, with Mike Bankers (son of founder Tim Bankers) serving as President.
