A Message From the Founder

Since establishing OHM International Corporation in 1958, our mission has always been centered on providing dependable service, quality products, and trusted international supply solutions for customers operating across the world. What began as a commitment to supporting customers with professionalism and integrity has grown into a company recognized for reliability, global coordination, and long term business relationships.



Throughout the years, our industry has experienced significant changes. Technology has evolved, international markets have expanded, and the complexity of global operations has continued to increase. Despite these changes, the values that guided the founding of OHM International Corporation remain unchanged. We continue to believe that strong relationships, honest communication, and dependable service are the foundation of lasting success.


From the beginning, our goal was never simply to supply products. We wanted to create a company that customers could rely on for practical solutions, responsive support, and professional coordination regardless of project size or geographic location. We recognized early that customers operating internationally needed more than access to equipment. They needed a partner capable of understanding operational challenges, coordinating logistics, and delivering results with consistency and accountability.

OHM International Corporation

Over the decades, OHM International Corporation has been fortunate to work with customers across a broad range of industries including energy, manufacturing, telecommunications, construction, utilities, transportation, and industrial operations. These relationships have shaped our company and strengthened our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and service.



We are proud of the reputation that OHM International Corporation has earned over more than sixty years of operation. That reputation was built through dedication, hard work, and a constant focus on customer satisfaction. Every project completed, every shipment coordinated, and every customer relationship strengthened has contributed to the company we are today.

Commitment to Service and Reliability

One of the most important principles behind OHM International Corporation has always been reliability. Customers depend on us to provide accurate coordination, dependable delivery schedules, and quality products sourced from respected manufacturers around the world.



As international operations became more demanding, we continued to invest in systems and planning methods that improved efficiency while helping customers simplify procurement and logistics challenges. Our ability to consolidate materials from multiple manufacturers into organized international shipments became an important advantage for customers managing large scale projects and ongoing operational needs.


We understand that every customer faces unique challenges and operational priorities. Some customers require support for complex infrastructure developments, while others rely on us for daily maintenance and operational supply requirements. Regardless of project size, our commitment to professionalism and dependable service remains the same.


The trust our customers place in OHM International Corporation is something we value deeply and continue to protect through responsive communication, careful coordination, and a strong commitment to quality.

Building a Global Organization

As OHM International Corporation continued to grow, we expanded our international reach while strengthening relationships with leading manufacturers and customers throughout worldwide markets.



Our business operations in Japan and Mexico became an important part of this growth and continue to strengthen our ability to support customers with regional coordination and localized expertise. These operations reflect our ongoing commitment to serving international markets while maintaining strong relationships across different regions and industries.


Global business requires adaptability, organization, and the ability to respond quickly to changing market conditions. Throughout our history, we have worked hard to maintain these strengths while continuing to improve our operational capabilities and customer support.


The international experience developed over many decades continues to guide OHM International Corporation as we help customers navigate the challenges of worldwide procurement and supply coordination.

A Focus on Quality and Professional Standards

Quality has always been an essential part of our company culture. We have consistently worked to maintain professional operational standards that support accuracy, accountability, and dependable service.



Achieving ISO9002:1994 Certification on February 13, 1998 under Certificate Number 98 079 represented an important milestone for our company. This accomplishment reflected the dedication of our team and reinforced our commitment to maintaining organized systems and continuous operational improvement.


While certifications and accomplishments are important, we believe the true measure of success is the confidence our customers place in us year after year. That confidence continues to motivate us to maintain the highest level of professionalism throughout every aspect of our business.
