Industri-Tech

What Industri-Tech does

Industri-Tech is a privately-held regional distributor of advanced composite materials headquartered in West Valley City, Utah. Founded in 1982 by owner-president Rick McMillan as the original Airtech International distributor, the company has operated continuously for over 40 years serving manufacturers across the Intermountain West. The product portfolio spans six core categories distributed under multi-vendor relationships: vacuum bagging supplies (Airtech), prepreg materials (Mitsubishi Chemical Carbon Fiber and Composites, exclusive Intermountain West rights), resins and tooling boards (Sika Axson), woven reinforcement fabrics in carbon fiber, fiberglass, and aramid (BGF Industries), structural core materials including PVC/PET/PES foams and balsa (Diab), and mold release agents and cleaners (McLube). Additional partnerships include Stoner Molding Solutions and Lattice Composites.

The company operates a transaction-fee distribution model, earning margins on the markup between manufacturer cost and end-customer price. Go-to-market is sales-led: a combination of field/inside phone sales (801-263-2921), a website-based Request-a-Quote form, and walk-in inquiries, supported by inventory stocked in a Salt Lake City warehouse. End markets include aerospace & defense (the primary segment — aerostructures, helicopters, general aviation, military jets, space/satellite), automotive racing, industrial manufacturing, sporting goods, medical, marine, construction, and energy. Pricing is fully quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company holds AS 9120B aerospace quality management certification issued by the International Aerospace Quality Group, qualifying it for aviation, space, and defense supply chains.

Industri-Tech is a small, owner-operated specialty distributor with a headcount band of 1-10 employees and no disclosed external capital, acquisitions, or non-founder leadership. No revenue figures, funding history, M&A activity, or product launches within the past decade are disclosed in the source data. The operating posture is consistent with a stable, regionally anchored lifestyle business rather than a venture- or PE-backed growth company.

Direct peers

• Composites One: North America's largest distributor of composite materials, with a similar product portfolio (resins, reinforcements, core materials, vacuum bagging) and direct overlap in aerospace, marine, and industrial customers. Directly competes with Industri-Tech on many of the same lines, just at much larger national scale.
• Professional Plastics: Broad plastics and composites distributor serving industrial and aerospace customers nationwide with sheet, rod, film, and composite materials. Overlaps with Industri-Tech on core materials and reinforcement fabrics while operating at greater scale and a wider plastics-heavy product mix.
• Fibre Glast Developments: Long-standing US composites distributor/retailer selling resins, fabrics, core materials, and vacuum bagging supplies to small-and-mid-market customers, prototype shops, and training programs. Closely aligned product offering and customer base make it a direct peer to Industri-Tech, though more skewed toward retail/hobbyist.
• US Composites: US-based composites materials supplier specializing in resins, fabrics, core materials, and accessories for small-to-mid-market manufacturers and DIY/prosumer customers. Comparable product catalog and customer target to Industri-Tech, particularly on the polyester/vinyl ester resins side.
• ACP Composites: California-based distributor of carbon fiber, fiberglass, aramid fabrics, and composite accessories selling into aerospace, motorsport, prototyping, and industrial customers. Strong overlap with Industri-Tech's woven reinforcement fabrics and core materials categories, particularly in motorsport and prototyping use cases.

Regional players

• Easy Composites: UK-based specialist composites distributor carrying the same major brands (including Sika/Airtech-style bagging supplies, resins, and reinforcements) and serving aerospace, motorsport, and R&D customers. Same business model and product mix as Industri-Tech but operating in a different geography, making it a regional peer rather than head-to-head competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Grainger: Major industrial MRO distributor with a large digital catalog and broad customer footprint across US manufacturing. Represents the broad-incumbent threat in industrial procurement; not a specialist composites distributor but increasingly relevant as buyers consolidate spend with general-line suppliers.
• MSC Industrial Direct: Large US MRO and industrial supplies distributor serving manufacturers with metalworking, cutting tools, and a growing assortment of raw materials. Broad incumbent that customers may turn to for small-volume composite purchases, though it lacks the deep specialty composites expertise of Industri-Tech.
• McMaster-Carr: Massive catalog industrial supplier offering a wide assortment of raw materials including composite fabrics, resins, and adhesives alongside its core MRO/equipment offering. Not a specialist composites distributor, but increasingly competes for small-quantity composite material purchases through its digital commerce platform.
