Bear Iron Works Is a Tough Competitor Manufacturing Built-Tough Industrial Equipment

Monday Morning Radio

Mike Frick never intended to get into the business of selling specialized construction equipment, including rock screens, bedding boxes, and concrete washout tubs.

But what started as a side hustle and a way to help his son earn extra cash while in college has turned into a thriving business with a large and diverse nationwide customer base, including construction sites, farms, quarries, mines, and the US military.

Bear Iron Works, headquartered in Grand Junction, Colorado, features made-in-America products and embodies all-American values.

A commitment to innovation is at the heart of Bear Iron Works’ success. Mike’s background in construction, ranching, and mining has shaped the company's product development. He combines practical experience with creative problem-solving to design equipment tailored to the needs of his clients.

Mike’s entrepreneurial journey is a reminder that successful business owners come in all varieties and serve many less-than-glamorous markets. But the keys to success remain consistent.

• Focus on quality

• Innovate continuously

• Be resilient in the face of setbacks

• Communicate and collaborate

• Plan for growth

Bear Iron Works is poised for a bright future. With plans to expand its product line and reach new markets, the company is leveraging its reputation for quality and innovation to solidify its position in the industry.
