Etnyre International is headquartered in Oregon, Ill., and is the parent company to E.D. Etnyre & Co., BearCat Manufacturing, SMF, and Hendrick. The organization leads with a legendary commitment to the markets it serves, while prioritizing investments in employees — who are called members at Etnyre International — suppliers, customers, and communities. It prides itself in engineering and manufacturing road maintenance equipment and fabricated metal products and solutions that serve the infrastructure needs of the world. The companies that comprise Etnyre International have a combined 300+ years of experience bringing technological advancements, quality, and reliability to our customers.
Etnyre International is a family-owned business, with multiple generations sitting in leadership roles on the organization’s board or involved as shareholders. It is woven in the fabric of the organization that if it prioritizes members, customers, suppliers, and communities, then optimized profit will follow. For members, this focus is reflected in annual merit raises, bonuses, formal training programs and tuition reimbursements, 401K match and profit-sharing contributions among other benefits.
To further support members, Etnyre International established The Purpose Council, a member-run council with chapters at each company location, empowering members to drive initiatives that align with the company’s values of Care, Humility, Integrity, Respect, and Trust. In 2024, the Purpose Council launched “Etnyre Cares,” a member-driven program that provides financial assistance to members in times of hardship through donations, supported by a dollar-for-dollar company match.
