What Upright Industrial Group does

Upright Industrial Group, Inc. (UIG) is a Texas-incorporated, founder-owned private multi-craft industrial maintenance contractor founded in June 2014 and headquartered at 4228 Keller Hicks Rd, Fort Worth, TX. The company provides on-site scaffolding and shoring installation/dismantling, professional engineering design with stamped drawings, protective coatings (including CUI prevention, epoxy flooring, thermal spray), industrial and cryogenic insulation, heat tracing, equipment rental, and sand blasting to enterprise industrial facilities across the United States. Field crews serve refineries, petrochemical plants, power plants, chemical plants, water treatment facilities, manufacturing sites, paper and pulp mills, cement and aggregate plants, food and beverage facilities, and government installations.

The business operates primarily as a project-based professional services and equipment rental contractor. Revenue is generated through quote-based, project-specific contracts (with some multi-year enterprise maintenance relationships) priced on scope, complexity, and duration. Go-to-market is sales-led with in-house business development, direct phone and email contact ([email protected], +1 817 993 4482), and a 24-hour emergency rapid-response number for urgent shoring needs. The company differentiates on a single-source multi-trade delivery model underpinned by licensed professional engineering (Texas Board of Professional Engineers, Certificate F-18631), NACE-certified coatings inspectors, in-house MSHA/OSHA-compliant safety training, and listing on the major industrial contractor verification platforms (Avetta/Pics, Browz, ISNet World, VERO). No external institutional funding, M&A, or subsidiary activity is disclosed in available materials, and the company is not publicly listed.
