COVER STORY Advertorial A Well-Maintained History President and CEO Mark McLeod explains how Maintenance Incorporated Pavement Products is still going strong after 81 years. Maintenance Inc. showroom located at their Wooster Ohio location stocking everything a pavement maintenance contractor would ever need! ince 1938, Maintenance, Inc. has been one of the most trusted names in pavement sealing solutions. The company began making that name by helping the Air Force repair its runways during World War II. Since then it has not only evolved into a go-to supplier for to- day’s contractor, it also has developed some of the top products in the industry, such as pavement sealer additives FASS-DRI, FSA, FSA AE, FSA PLUS, as well as rub- berized polymer additive TARGEL PLUS, among others. “81 years -- That’s a long time for any company to stay relevant in any industry,” said president and CEO Mark McLeod. “We have been blessed.” www.callape.com That blessing has shown up in the Wooster, Ohio company’s ability to stra- tegically grow and evolve; in 2015, it ac- quired ABLE Industries, an equipment and parts manufacturer geared toward driveway contractors. This has given Maintenance, Inc. the ability to offer solutions for every stage of the pavement sealing process; from additives, pavement coatings, paint, and the equipment to ap- ply them. McLeod recently shared his thoughts with APE on Maintenance, Inc.’s ap- proach, how it weathered hard times and what lies ahead for the industry mainstay.
