The Lowery Metals Story
We’ve been building trust since 1969.
Our grandfather Preston Lowery began Lowery Metals, originally Lowery Wholesale, in the pasture behind his trailer in Paradise, TX. What began as a small operation of selling plastic water well pipes soon grew into a leading supplier of steel, culverts, and more.
Preston believed in hard work, resourcefulness, and never letting anything go to waste. From retreading old tires to hauling a MAZ MVU-30 fertilizer machine down from Kansas on I-35 at 30 mph to avoid delivery fees, he made sure every dollar counted. His philosophy? “Watch the pennies, and the dollars will take care of themselves.”
Today, Lowery Metals is the largest culvert supplier in the southern U.S. and trusted by builders, ranchers, and businesses across the region for custom sheet iron, fencing materials, and more. Now operating out of Paradise and Decatur, TX, we continue Preston’s legacy of quality materials, fair pricing, and family values.
