Family History
Irving Ratner (Steven's grandfather) started Lamtron Industries in 1955 in Miami, Florida. Lamtron Industries manufactured hotel and restaurants millwork, case goods and seating. After retiring in 1973, Michael Ratner (Steven's father) started R Industries to continue the family tradition of quality custom furniture and case goods for the commercial world.
