In 2014, one of the owners of Schier Products (who is also our brother) pitched us the idea of purchasing their Oil Separator, Solids Interceptor, and Chemical Waste Tank product lines.
At the time, Vince was in finance and Gabe was running his own lawn care equipment rental business and we thought, plumbing seems more fun. So, in 2015, we formed Striem.
We carved out a corner of Schier’s office and told our customers that we had a phone number. Luckily, it started ringing.
We hired a few people to help out and convinced them that working in close quarters was normal.
After two years of asking questions at Schier, it was time to figure out how to manufacture products on our own.
In 2017, we moved into our own factory, hired some more people, and got to work.
