Beartech Manufacturing Information

Beartech Alloys is a family owned and operated metal distributor and metal service center that was founded in 1997. We specialize in specialty alloys such as stainless steel, nickel, bronze and copper. We stock these alloys in bar, tube, pipe, angle, flats, shapes, plate and sheet. We work with several mills, foundries and other distributors to assure you the best price and delivery possible. President Rick Fobear started in the metal industry at a very early age, sweeping chips off the floor and cleaning machines at his parents' tool and die shop. It was a humble beginning, and by the time he reached high school, Rick knew what he wanted to do for a living - ANYTHING but work in the metal industry. He'd had his fill of sweeping and cleaning. But while Rick was attending college, he came across a job opportunity as a sales rep for a company in the metal industry. It was a field he knew well, so he tried it. There was no sweeping or cleaning required. That was 1995, and he's been working in the industry ever since.
