The story of BearCat Manufacturing is a legendary American commitment, a 56-year journey that began in 1969 with the ingenuity of Ken Hill and his co-founder, Don Carson. It is a tale born not in a factory, but on the job, when Hill, working as a dealer operator in Oregon, decided that standard equipment simply wasn't good enough.

    At the very heart of their identity is a history of practical, operator-focused innovation. This is the story of how Hill modified existing trucks so that all functions could be controlled safely from the cab. But his true breakthrough was the creation of his own custom spray bar, featuring poppet spray valves and breakaway wings. This design was so effective and robust that the company still uses this original technology today.

    This spirit of invention fueled their evolution. In 1977, the company established its long-term home in Wickenburg, Arizona, transforming from a partnership into a dedicated manufacturing powerhouse for asphalt distributors.

    A pivotal new chapter in this legacy was written in 2015. This is the story of how BearCat joined forces with another giant of the industry, E.D. Etnyre & Co., becoming the largest partner brand within the world-renowned Etnyre International family. Today, the story of BearCat is one of a company that has maintained its unique identity while gaining global strength. It is a promise of top-quality, specialized Asphalt Distributors and Chipspreaders, still proudly manufactured right there in the heat of the Arizona desert.
