SealMaster, a leading global supplier of pavement maintenance supplies and equipment, has opened a manufacturing plant, distribution center and retail showroom in West Valley City.
The Utah location is owner Lyle Moody’s second SealMaster franchise. He has owned SealMaster in Honolulu for 14 years.
SealMaster franchise owners manufacture pavement sealer and distribute pavement maintenance products and equipment, including crack sealants, pavement repair materials, traffic paints, dust suppressants, tools, accessories, sport surfacing products along with machines to apply the materials. The brand is known for introducing franchising to pavement maintenance sourcing by standardizing quality, support, services and practices that “transformed an ugly duckling industry into a swan,” according to Pavement Maintenance & Reconstruction magazine.
Moody actually opened the Utah business last fall while simultaneously renovating a combined 13,000-square-foot warehouse, office space and showroom; building a 5,500-square-foot addition; and training new employees. Members of the Moody family who live in Utah serve in key leadership positions. Moody's son and former Hawaii plant Manager John Moody relocated to Utah and serves as vice president. Son-in-law Shawn Ormond, who had worked for SealMaster/Honolulu for more than five years, now lives in Utah and manages operations.
“We’re glad to invest in our home state and contribute to the economy here,” said John Moody.
