Kruz History: Kruz Inc’s history began in 1985, when founder Kent Kruzick purchased Bobko, an established manufacturer of steel and aluminum dump trailers since 1967. A major supplier of specialty trailers for heavy-duty hauling of slabs, coils, and grit to area steel mills, Bobko secured a reputation in the refuse industry for quality and innovative design in live floor and transfer trailers.   Following a 1992 merger, manufacturing of Bobko steel dump trailers continued under the Galbreath, Inc. brand until 1998, when the trailer division was sold to Ravens Inc. The “Terminator”, and other steel dump trailer production continued at Ravens Knox facility. When the Fontaine Company acquired Ravens in 2001, the dump trailer product was divested. Kruzick re-purchased the Knox Plant two years later. In early 2004, Fontaine acquired and moved the “Ravens®” aluminum dump trailer product line to Knox, IN.   Through various name changes, one constant remains…the commitment to quality, design and reputation of the craftsmen who build and design “Kruz®” and “Ravens®” trailers. Heritage is very important to Kruz®, and the rich legacy associated with “Ravens®” and “Terminator” continues to thrive in an ever-changing business landscape. “Bobko”, “Galbreath” and “Ravens” trailers have consistently commanded higher resell or trade-in value over time.   Compared to other producers, Kruz® may not be known for high volume, but that’s fine with us. We’d prefer to concentrate on being a high value manufacturer. Kruz’ philosophy has always been that “quality will long be remembered after the sale is forgotten”. And we continue to build upon that tradition today and into the future.

America's second-largest sheet steel producer U.S. Steel (NYSE:X) is reviewing strategic takeover options. Steel magnum Cleveland Cliffs and privately owned Esmark are among the top bidders. Even so, the takeover of U.S. Steel will not be a cakewalk since it will likely draw heightened regulatory scrutiny and industry opposition. #takeover #bid #steelmanufacturing #ussteel #clevelandcliffs https://lnkd.in/dnhSehmc

For many small businesses, inventory is the life blood of their operations. They are either selling it outright or using a manufacturing process to transform it into something that is sellable. Either way, inventory is a huge investment that if not managed properly can make or break a company. It's a necessary evil that can be a gold mine or a money pit. It's all in how it's managed. #warehouse #distribution #wms #inventorymanagment #inventorycontrol #steelpartner Steel Partner Zim Tatiana N. Craig Sanike Isaiah Masamvu

President Biden's Build America, Buy America (BABA) policy aims to boost domestic manufacturing and create more jobs in the United States. The policy requires that federal agencies prioritize the purchase of American-made goods for federally funded projects. BABA is expected to impact reshoring efforts, with a goal of making it more attractive for companies to bring their manufacturing operations back to the U.S. to support the new government contract requirements. At Badger Alloys, we have extensive experience in serving the Marine/Defense industry and understand how nuanced navigating government contracts can be. This initiative could add additional complexity to the already detailed requirements and should be carefully evaluated from all perspectives. Is BABA doing enough?
