In the
early 1960’s Frank J. Rapin, the founder of FJR
Industrial Sales, Inc. took a big risk and sold his
interest in a steel service center in the Detroit,
Michigan area. During his time as co-owner of the
service center, he had many of his customers in the
material handling industry ask where they could find the
caps for the ends of the tubing that he sold them. It
was through his diligence and drive to help solve his
customer’s needs that FJR Industrial Sales, Inc.
started. Frank Rapin always understood that quality and
service at a fair cost while treating customers with
respect as the keys to any successful business.
FJR
Industrial Sales, Inc. grew from a small company having
less than one hundred customers located generally in
Michigan, to a larger company with thousands of
customers internationally. Yet, still treating customers
much as they did when it was a smaller company.
Patrick
Rapin left his job as a regional sales manager for a
metrology equipment company on the east coast in the
early 1990’s to join his father at FJR Industrial Sales,
Inc. With his father’s same philosophy of treating
customers respectfully and fair with the knowledge of
managing budgets, forecasts and inventory control he has
brought FJR Industrial Sales, Inc. to where it is today.
A leader in supplying hardware which includes stacking
caps, targets and locking devices for the material
