Our History
More than 50 years ago, Crow Engineering Co. was founded by Gerald W. Crow, P.E., and specialized in mechanical engineering and planning, primarily for the forest products industry. Our firm was founded on and continues to subscribe to the principles of honesty, hard work, and technical quality.
Bradford Conrad Crow Engineering Co., was formed in 1992 in a merger between Crow Engineering Co. and the structural and civil engineering firm, Bradford and Associates, Inc. (formerly doing business as Dick W. Ebeling, Inc.). Merging these complementary companies was obvious for providing outstanding service to the forest products industry in addition to other industrial and commercial clients.
In August 2016, our company grew stronger as we brought new principals into the fold. We simplified the company name by changing it back to Crow Engineering to reflect our history. Today’s Crow Engineering leadership and key personnel are still on board, bridging the past and the future and continuing to provide quality design for our current and new clients.
