The Hole Story
The Hole Story
McNICHOLS
CO. has grown from
a small family business
to an industry
leader, while the
spirit of Founder Bob
McNichols lives on.
McNICHOLS®
FIBERGLASS SOLUTIONS
During his service in
World War II, Bob
Bob McNichols, Founder
made a solemn vow
(1922 - 1981)
that if he came out of
the war alive, he would put God first and make
Him his partner.
McNICHOLS has the largest selection of Fiberglass
Grating in North America stocked in a variety of styles and
materials.
Pultruded and Molded Fiberglass Gratings are lightweight,
corrosion resistant, fire retardant and can be used like
traditional metal grates but have the inherent benefits
of Fiberglass.
The bombardier of a Boeing B-17 Flying
Fortress, Bob was the only member of the
plane’s nine-man crew to survive an attack by
Nazi fighters on October 6, 1944. He spent
months in a German prisoner-of-war camp
before he and fellow POWs were liberated on
May 1, 1945. Bob returned to America and
united with his wife, Phyllis and his six-monthold daughter, Barbara.
Bob began McNICHOLS with Phyllis on
May 1, 1952.
He trademarked “The Hole Story” as a
tribute to the perforated and expanded metal
products he carried. The slogan’s debut in the
McNICHOLS ® Master Catalog in 1975
initiated a legacy of “Hole” references, such as
“Hole Products” and “The Hole Team.”
The company suffered the unexpected loss of
Bob in 1981. By this time, McNICHOLS
had built a national base of customers and
relocated its headquarters to Tampa, FL, from
Cleveland, OH.
Bob’s son, Gene, took over leadership and
opened a new chapter of “The Hole Story.”
In 1990, Gene made “Service, Quality and
Performance” McNICHOLS’ official
mission. The words embody the spirit of the
organization. They represent the highest level
of customer service, quality worthy of the
International Organization for Standardization’s
9001:2008 Certification, and performance that
surpasses customer expectations.
will celebrate its 63rd
anniversary this year. Led by Scott
McNichols, President, members of
the family’s third generation are
ready to advance the legacy of their
father and grandfather.

PULTRUDED FIBERGLASS GRATING
Pultruded Fiberglass Grating is a composite of fiberglass reinforcements (fibers and mat) and a thermosetting resin system. Formed by the pultrusion manufacturing process, this grating has corrosion
resistance that is greater than stainless steel, aluminum and galvanized gratings, and superior strength
and stiffness, making it the product of choice where minimum deflection under high load is required.
On board an oil rig this Fiberglass Grating walkway is
colored safety yellow to remind workers to be cautious.
The Pultruded Fiberglass T-Bar used for this athletic
stadium balcony is weather and fade resistant.

MOLDED FIBERGLASS GRATING
Molded Fiberglass Grating is an economical product of choice where corrosion resistance or fire retardancy
is paramount and high impact resistance is desired. When compared to steel, this product is very lightweight
but still retains the ability to support a heavy load.
Square Molded Fiberglass Grating is an important
component of this fracking equipment.
