OHM International Inc

What OHM International Inc does

OHM International Inc. is a privately held importer and wholesaler of natural stone and engineered surface materials, founded in 1987 by Pinakin Pathak and headquartered in Monroe Township, New Jersey. The company sources granite, marble, quartzite, limestone, travertine, slate, and onyx from international suppliers in India, Italy, Brazil, and China, and distributes engineered surfaces including quartz, porcelain, and recycled-content materials (recycled glass, paper composite, recycled plastics) under both proprietary and licensed brand names. OHM operates ten showroom and distribution facilities along the U.S. East Coast from Massachusetts to Alabama, with the flagship Monroe facility covering 100,000 sq ft. The company holds exclusive distribution rights for its own Valiant Surfaces brand (launched 2019, spanning quartz, porcelain, silica-free, tech, semi-precious, and outdoor-rated product lines) and distributes third-party brands including Caesarstone, Durat, GEOS, and PaperStone across its regional territories.

The business operates a wholesale distribution model, selling primarily to trade professionals — fabricators, contractors, interior designers, architects, and builders — who in turn serve end consumers. OHM explicitly does not provide direct retail pricing; pricing is set by fabricators based on the selected material and project specifications. The company offers cut-to-size materials, direct container loads, custom orders, and an online inventory browsing portal that allows customers to preview available stock by location before visiting a showroom. Its customer base spans four primary persona segments (homeowners, designers and architects, builders and contractors, and fabricators) with no single end-customer concentration disclosed. Leadership is founder-led, with Saket Hans, who joined as the company's first outside sales representative in 1993, serving as Chief Operating Officer.

Strategically, OHM has executed a measured, geographic-expansion-led growth strategy, opening new showrooms in Randolph, MA (2022), Norcross, GA (2023), and Madison, AL (2025), and renovating its Monroe, NJ headquarters in 2023. The company has incrementally extended its brand portfolio through distribution agreements with Aurea Stone, SapienStone, Zeal Quartz, and Diresco, and through proprietary product line extensions under Valiant Surfaces, including a silica-free product line introduced in response to evolving regulatory and occupational safety requirements in stone fabrication. In 2023, OHM formed a partnership with the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) to deepen access to the professional design community. The company remains privately held with no external institutional funding or public listing disclosed.
