Fisher Industries

Fisher Industries is a vertically integrated family of businesses that encompasses all aspects of the aggregate and land development industries. Our goal is to provide innovative products and sustainable solutions for the world’s infrastructure. Our parent company, Fisher Sand & Gravel Co., was founded in rural North Dakota in 1952 by Gene Fisher. Through Gene’s vision and leadership, Fisher Sand & Gravel quickly emerged as a leader in portable crushing operations. In the years that followed, Gene recognized a need for durable, customizable equipment. In 1967 he established the affiliate company, General Steel & Supply Co., to repair, remodel, design, and fabricate quality aggregate processing equipment. This partnership fueled the further success of Fisher Sand & Gravel leading to the establishment of several more office locations in the upper Midwest. In the mid-1990s, Gene Fisher turned over the reins of his enterprise to his eldest son and current company president, Tommy Fisher. Exhibiting his father’s same ambition, Tommy expanded our operations to Arizona and markets in the southwest United States. Today, known by the trade name of Fisher Industries, our services include concrete, asphalt, drilling, blasting, and paving, as well as various aggregate products. We have recently entered into our third generation of Fisher ingenuity and acumen with Tommy’s sons, Grant and Ryan, becoming involved in the company. Working as a unified team, Fisher Industries continues to pursue and successfully tackle the industry’s toughest jobs. Bridges, levees, roads, and walls, we do it all.
