South Texas Boiler Industries is a family owned business, started in 2005, by Joe Ruiz and Daniel Merillat.
Joe D. Ruiz started working on boilers at 19 years old, in August 1977, in Chicago, IL. Joe returned to Texas in 1995 and worked for various boiler companies in Houston until 2004. This time spent made Joe highly experienced in all types of firetube and watertube boiler repairs, certified welding, and troubleshooting, and escalated his confidence in the solutions he provided. Joe met Daniel Merillat through experiences in Houston working together for various boiler companies. Daniel had started working on boilers at an early age also and had become highly trained and experienced with the technical side of the boilers. By 2004 Daniel was confident to offer and provide his personalized expertise and solutions to the Houston Area. After a short period of both Joe and Daniel working together as separate boiler companies, they struck on a partnership of forming ONE company. Combining these skills and services provided a on-stop shop for boiler repairs and services to the Houston area. Today, S.T.B.I. is a full-service boiler company involved in virtually every aspect of the boiler industry from custom installations, energy efficient equipment and parts, to boiler sales and rentals.
