Frank Ferko wanted to differentiate his distributorship in the industrial mill supply industry by making customers know that everyone on staff truly does "Try Hard" to meet their needs. This take-the-initiative approach demonstrated a strong commitment to developing new competencies within the organization to establish ultimate customer service. Ferko's fundamental principles are as vital and relevant today as in the beginning: assemble a strong, knowledgeable sales team, build a company team committed to working together, and maintain an inventory unmatched in the industry.

The success story from this dynamic young firm took root from humble beginnings: just two people, an 1800 square foot warehouse, and the desire to succeed. By combining sound business practices and trying hard, Try Hard Industrial Supply has grown significantly over the past two decades. Operations are housed in a modern facility more than ten times larger than the original - 20,000 square feet with an extensive inventory of quality products essential to the industrial mill industry.

Today, Frank Ferko is still actively involved in plotting strategy for growing the business, but has transferred much of the day-to-day management responsibility to his two sons. John and Dario Ferko share their Father's vision and are carrying on the family customer service tradition. Customers, suppliers and staff alike have endorsed the able and aggressive leadership style of these next-generation business professionals.
