History of Direct
History of Direct
My dad Richard Batterton, Sr. founded TriStar Metals in 1986 in our family garage. He was a welder by trade, a true master craftsman and I was his student. He started out making custom stainless pieces for anybody who needed anything. Eventually our small family business started to grow and we moved our company to Boyd, a small farming community outside of Fort Worth, TX. We manufactured all kinds of stuff from architectural hand rails to stainless cabinetry for military hospitals and Airforce bases.
