St. Cloud, MN. (September 5, 2025) – We are pleased to announce that Eric’sons, Inc. has joined GEOTEK, a Granite Company. The partnership closed on September 3, 2025. We welcome co-owners Robert Finn, Anthony Finn, and David Potter and all Eric’sons stakeholders into the GEOTEK and Granite communities.
Founded in 1998, Eric’sons manufactures Dura Trench™ products, primarily trenches and trench drains, for application across a broad set of end markets, including industrial processing, building infrastructure, and outdoor settings. The product is light, easy-to-install, high load-bearing and non-corrosive, differentiating it from traditional precast concrete trenches. The company employs about 250 team members and operates three manufacturing facilities in Ogden, Utah; Dallas, Georgia; and Chester, Virginia. See Duratrench.com for a company profile.
The partnership marks a significant milestone in GEOTEK’s mission to enhance the world’s infrastructure with composite products. Eric’sons adds spray up composite manufacturing capabilities, a new high growth product, and a diversified customer base. With GEOTEK’s expertise in selling composite products, its strong distribution network in the utility channel, and its proven ability to launch new products, we view the combination as highly synergistic and likely to fuel the growth of both existing and new products.
