Leonard Gross, CEO of Kelly Pipe, announces retirement​

January 13, 2016
Leonard Gross

Steve Livingston is named new president and CEO. Kevin Roberts will take over for Livingston as vice president of the central region.

After more than 40 years in the plumbing and piping Industry and the last six years as president and CEO of Kelly Pipe Co, Leonard Gross is retiring as of March 31. Gross has decided to pursue other adventures that hold his interest, such as spending time with his grandchildren, mountain climbing, zip lining, just to name a few. 

Gross has been a great asset to Kelly and during his tenure has been responsible for the growth of the company from nine locations to the current 15 locations. Kelly employs more 250 people and has its headquarters in Santa Fe Springs, Calif., with branch offices and yards across the United States, Canada, UK and Colombia.

Kelly is pleased to announce the appointment of Steve Livingston to president and CEO, effective Jan. 1, 2016. Livingston joined Kelly in 2003 as Denver branch manager and was promoted to the position of executive vice president of the company’s central region in 2010.  He is well known in the industry and brings 50 years of experience in the industrial piping industry. Livingston began his career in the industry in 1966 and since joining the Kelly Pipe, his expertise and accomplishments have been greatly recognized and appreciated.

Kevin Roberts has been appointed to replace Steve Livingston as vice president of the central region.  Roberts joined Kelly in a sales position in 2006 and was quickly promoted to Houston branch manager in 2008. He has been instrumental in helping that branch grow from one sales office and yard to its current presence at a much larger sales office and stocking yards.
