Our history

It all started in 1976.

George Parker had decided to launch a cold storage contracting company. But it wasn’t long before he shifted his course. He had spent his career in the construction industry. He knew there was a hole to fill.

Houston needed a quality FRP panel distributor.

George spent the next four decades building a team of experts and a network of relationships across the construction industry. He became the go-to source for FRP in Houston and beyond. And at the age of 85, he decided it was time to pass the reins. It was a decision that led him to Lance Redmon and his father, Paul.

The father/son team was looking for a venture to embark on together. Lance, a former pastor, had spent years in building management. His father, Paul, was an engineer and a founder of Mustang Engineering. They share a passion for business and, most importantly, people. They found both in SBS.

In 2018, George officially passed the reins to Lance and Paul — but not without agreeing to offer his ongoing wisdom and expertise. It’s part of the SBS commitment to putting people first. They are our greatest asset, our edge in a competitive marketplace. And we value them above all else.

“We are honored to continue building on the strong foundation George has put in place over the past 40 years. We’ve got big plans, and none of it would be possible without his hard work, drive and faith that we will be excellent stewards of the SBS brand.”
