INDEPENDENCE

FOR THE WIN

Discover how Action Gypsum Supply takes on construction giants through customer service and expansion

While many construction material suppliers are being overshadowed by larger corporate organizations , independent provider of high-quality building materials Action Gypsum Supply ( Gypsum ) continues to grow . Its longevity can be attributed to its independent status and business ethos , which empower it to prioritize relationships with customers and effectively support their businesses . What makes Action Gypsum a particularly strong contender in the face of large corporations is its exceptional footprint , with 32 different locations , allowing for tremendous flexibility to ensure customers always receive the solutions and level of service they deserve . The building materials dealer notably offers wallboard , doors , frames , tools , fasteners , lumber , metal , acoustical ceilings , trims , stucco lath , plastering , masonry , and insulation products , as well as credit , delivery , sales , and stocking services .

In 2003 , Lenin Juarez and Terri King , who had both been working in the building materials industry since 1980 , decided to combine their resources to form Action Gypsum . Originally operating from a small , leased warehouse in Houston , Texas , the duo grew the business at an impressive rate . In fact , after three years of operations , they purchased seven acres of land and began constructing a 70,000 square foot warehouse , which now serves as the organization ’ s corporate headquarters . Over the course of the following years , Lenin and Terri realized their vision to expand to each major market throughout Texas . They opened new locations in South Houston , Bryan-College Station , San Antonio , Austin , Corpus Christi , Dallas , and Fort Worth , thereby strengthening their position as a major player throughout the state .
