A Legacy Built on Hard Work
Since its beginning in 1916, the rich and storied history of R.G. Smith Company spans multiple generations. The company takes its name from its founder, R.G. Smith, an ironworker with an extraordinary ambition, relentless work ethic, and a bold vision for the future.
In 1946, the Nicely family acquired the business and is under 3rd generation leadership by Geoff Nicely. Originally a paint and ironwork supply store, the R.G. Smith Company has grown to encompass nearly every trade in the industry. Since 1946, the R.G. Smith Company has experienced remarkable growth, expanding its revenue and geographical footprint to all of Northeast Ohio and beyond.
Today, we uphold the highest of standards that have been the foundation of R.G. Smith Company for over a century: Integrity, Trust, Quality, and Hard Work.
