About Us
                                     
Try Hard Industrial Supply Company Ltd. began operations in the spring of 1979. The name chosen by company owner and president Frank Ferko at its founding represents the underlying philosophy that brought the firm to prominence within a very competitive marketplace.

Frank wanted to differentiate his distributorship in the industrial mill supply industry by having 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.

His 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 - with 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 three decades. Operations are now housed in a 20,000 square foot modern facility, with an extensive inventory of quality products essential to the manufacturing 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.  Dario and John Ferko share their father's vision.  Customer, suppliers and staff alike have endorsed the able and aggressive leadership style of these next generation business professionals.
