These topics include how they started, challenges getting started, challenges during the pandemic, financial hardships during the pandemic, and other topics regarding their entrepreneurship. The topic of why each company was started shows exactly why Parts Badger is so important for other businesses who face supply issues.
“I was looking for a much bigger idea that could grow much faster. I initially knew it had to be in a big market. Recently, I had experienced trying to buy a machine part, and I sent out a quote to 12 local companies for a request for a quote. It took about a week and I got responses from three of the 12 companies I had sent a request for a quote. Two (companies) said their software is too old and they couldn’t open the file and then the one that quoted us, it was cheaper for us to buy a CNC machine and make the parts ourselves so that’s what we did. “ -Roy Dietsch, CEO, Parts Badger.
