TEI Rock Drills

[lang_es][/lang_es][lang_pt][/lang_pt][lang_en]TEI Rock Drills manufactures a full line of rock drilling equipment, attachments and parts used by the construction industry, mines, rock quarries and smaller fields (such as fencing, foundation, and rental yards, etc). TEI equipment is distributed worldwide. This equipment is used primarily in road construction, tunneling, mining, and building construction and demolition.

TEI Rock Drills is a full production shop with few processes done out of house. A fully equipped weld shop fabricates the patented drill feeds and other equipment. CNC mills are used for parts production. Manual machines are used for smaller quantities or proto types. The facility is well-equipped using skilled operators and mechanics. This keeps the inventory for patented TEI products on hand when needed.

TEI Rock Drills first began working with the Colorado International Trade Office in 1989. This was our first year of active sales in countries other than the USA and Canada. Through the Colorado Intl. Trade Office, TEI Rock Drills was able to make initial contacts with potential distributors in Venezuela, Chile, Peru, and Ecuador. We were also able to make contacts with end users in all of the above countries plus Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, and Asia. At present, over 50% of our sales are international.

TECHNOLOGICAL ENTERPRISES was incorporated Sept. 3, 1980 by William N. Patterson and John W. Patterson. Bill’s knowledge is based in machine design expertise, with a graduate degree in Mechanical Engineering from Ohio State University.

In 1988 Technological Enterprises moved to Montrose, Colorado with assistance from the Montrose Economic Development Council (MEDC). Since that time the company has become TEI Rock Drills.
