Nick Kolavo – The newest member of the Metal Supermarkets’ network

“In my career, I have always tried to never say ‘no’ to a customer, even if it meant helping them find what they need without getting the sale,” said Nick Kolavo, owner of Metal Supermarkets South Bend/Elkhart. “This business is all about saying ‘yes,’ helping customers get products cut-to-size fast, working hard to source less common materials, and selling even an inch of material if needed. I see Metal Supermarkets as a long-term niche and career, and I’m excited to start building relationships with businesses and hobbyists alike in South Bend and Elkhart.”

Nick has a business background in industrial sales which he has worked in, for the last eight years, serving all types of customers from Fortune 500 manufacturers to local hobbyists. As a
furniture welding hobbyist himself, Kolavo shares a passion for metal and is ecstatic to serve the South Bend and Elkhart markets for all their metal needs.
