A Chat with John Economaki, Founder and President, Bridge City Tool Works

So they came up here with a team, and they were up here for a few days. Anyway, that's old news. We made it through that bump and it actually refocused the company, in terms of let's just really pay attention to our core group of customers, that tent pole group, so to speak. And that's what we've been doing the last 13 years, making really cool stuff and trying to cater to those people who really are enthusiasts and not spending a lot of our money trying to get a lot of new people on who don't care as much. As I mentioned, we are in a contracting market for a lot of reasons. That's how I got started.
