COVER STORY | ADVERTORIAL Maintaining Excellence Company’s long history shines light in uncertain times F By Aaron Garcia or a host of reasons, Adam Well- man said that the COVID-19 pandemic has been different from the other business-block- ing issues that Maintenance, Inc., has faced in the past. Oil embargos, fuel and supply chain interruptions – even a world war – have all forced the com- pany to adjust its plans at different points in its 82-year history. And while things may feel uncertain as the industry crawls through what should be its busy season, Wellman said his- tory has provided a well-worn path forward. “Buckle up,” said Wellman, Main- tenance, Inc.’s National Sales Manag- er. “If you’re slow now, you won’t be for long.” Something to add Maintenance Inc. also carries a whole line of stencils and line paint. Custom stencils are also available. www.callape.com [6] Maintenance, Inc. has a longstand- ing reputation as one of the indus- try’s top manufacturers of pavement maintenance products and accesso- ries, including asphalt coatings, recre- ational surfacing, concrete and crack sealing and repair. The company’s product lines include sealants GA- TOR PATCH and LASTEK, while its additive lines FSA, FASS DRI, TARGEL PLUS, and FSA AE have become industry standards over the decades. “We’re pretty much the founding fathers of the additive business. We’re the ones who created that trend,” said Wellman of the Wooster, Ohio-based company. 1.800.210.5923
