What Olmar Supply does

Olmar Supply, INC is a privately held, founder-owned metal fabricator headquartered in Livermore, California, founded in 1999 by Mark Baryla. The company's primary business is manufacturing steel stud and track components for the construction industry, following SSMA (Steel Stud Manufacturers Association) catalog specifications, with custom lengths, sizes, and radius/arch/ellipse/serpentine shapes. Its core product line includes standard studs and track, the proprietary 20EQ Prime Stud and Prime Track with hemmed edges, custom flashing up to 24 feet, welded assemblies, mounting brackets and clips, and light coves and boxes. Around 2023, Olmar expanded into CNC machining services, offering 5-axis milling (Matsuura MX-330 PC10), CNC turning with live tooling, and CMM-based inspection, with the capacity to handle prototypes through 10,000-piece production runs in aluminum, steel, stainless, titanium, and Inconel. The company also produces custom purlins and mounting accessories for the solar industry.

The firm operates from multiple production buildings housing dozens of machines spanning roll formers (for studs and track), fiber optic laser cutters, Amada punch presses, multi-axis CNC press brakes, robotic and manual welding cells, and CNC mills and lathes. It holds ISO 9001:2015, ITAR, and DD2345 certifications, which qualify it for defense-related work with controlled technical data as well as standard industrial quality requirements. Supporting LEED and Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) documentation is published on the website.

Olmar's go-to-market is sales-led and regional, relying on direct phone and email contact (with dedicated inboxes for general sales, machined parts, accounting, and Sacramento/Central Valley sales), a company website that publishes a Submittal Builder for generating specification PDFs, and an in-house delivery fleet with piggyback forklifts operating daily from San Francisco to Sacramento. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales — steel studs, track, custom fabrications, flashing, welding assemblies, mounting hardware, solar purlins — and professional services for CNC machining runs. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company serves construction contractors and builders as its primary segment, with solar installers and precision machined parts customers as secondary verticals.
