and made products for others just as carefully as he would for his own use . This took deep , personal commitment coupled with a depth of customer involvement . He passed that orientation down with the company ’ s legendary commitment to the market . In recent years , the company has expanded via acquisition to include BearCat Manufacturing , SMF , Inc . -- an industry-leading metal fabrication and welding company , and Rayner Equipment Systems ( RES ) which all together now make up the Etnyre International organization . RES is a good fit since Etnyre and RES , with its portfolio of sealcoating , slurry seal , and micro surfacing machines , have an established history of collaborating together on opportunities around the world . The products that RES has built over the years are a perfect complement to the Etnyre International road preservation portfolio . Rayner Equipment Systems machines have established a reputation for high performance and long-life durability and have been supported by superior customer service , which fits exactly the way Etnyre views its products and support service offering . BearCat Manufacturing provides the Etnyre International portfolio and the market with sprayed liquid asphalt
and asphalt emulsion distributor machines , a variety of chip spreaders , and DOT-compliant crack sealing equipment As a leader in chip seal and sprayed liquid asphalt and asphalt emulsion machinery , Etnyre International can offer several quality pavement preservation treatment options . Cape seal is the combination of chip seal covered by a layer of microsurfacing , which is considered one of the best road maintenance products on the market . Another pavement preservation treatment combination uses chip seal covered by an aggregate loaded sealcoat which is sprayed over the chip seal . This process incorporates the small stone particles in the sealcoat to “ lock ” the chip in place , thereby leaving a solid black surface which is designed to improve line striping visibility and traffic skid resistance . All of the pavement preservation treatments offered by Etnyre are designed to be effective on their own , but when combined they can complement each other and are expected to form an even better preservation treatment . The manufacturing challenges in the world today have proven devastating to many companies , however the Etnyre International operation has been employing dedicated targeted production teams to maintain a manufacturing-commitments schedule designed to eliminate delays . The objective is to keep the supply chain production lines producing the machinery needed to keep preserving our roads ! The company has the internal capabilities which include an 8 KW fiber laser , break presses , plasma tables and robotic welding to manufacture many parts that would have otherwise been dependent on the strained supply chain . Being in control of many aspects of the fabrication process provides Etnyre the luxury to adapt quickly and maintain reasonable delivery deadlines . Since customers in the asphalt pavement markets number one request is for their equipment to be durable and easy to use , those have been the hallmark of the Etnyre International organization . The voice of the customers has guided Etnyre International since the start in its product design and development , and its acquisition of companies to strengthen what it offers the asphalt paving market , as the supplier of quality equipment and as a true asphalt road building industry leader .
