The 50’s and 60’s saw rapid expansion in need for highway and municipal projects. Borsheim Builders was their supplier for ready mix and other building materials. George A. also expanded his building materials into concrete block. Borsheim Holding started Blox Incorporated that provided foundations and walls for buildings in the region. Borsheim Builders was extremely busy in Eastern Montana, Williston, Tioga, Watford City, and the Newtown and Parshall, ND area.

In 1964, George A. died and his son, George R Borsheim, took over the leadership role of Borsheim Builders. George R did not miss a beat and expanded the reach of product and service in Eastern Montana and Western North Dakota. In 1972, George R was approached by Harvey Bennett & John Sanders with Cactus Concrete to purchase the ready mix and block businesses.

The sales of the Ready Mix and Blox Inc businesses happened at the right time. George was able to expand his crane business. Two important events happened in the late 70’s. Tyler G Goodman became part of the Borsheim team in 1977 and represents the 3rd generation in the company. The second major change was cranes became more mobile and could effectively travel out over 100 miles.

The 1980’s brought new challenges and leadership to Borsheim Companies. In 1984, Tyler G. Goodman II took over for his uncle to lead Borsheim into the 21st century.

In 2000, Tyler expanded into the Belfield area of North Dakota. By 2003, an office and shop were secured in Fargo, ND. In 2008, an office and shop were secured in Minot, ND.

The 2010’s brought new teammates, including the fourth generation into the company – Tyler G. Goodman III in 2013.

In 2015, Pro Industrial was founded to supply miscellaneous rigging and supplies to areas served by Borsheim Crane. In 2017, two more companies were established – Borsheim Logistics and Logistic Pros. In 2019, Borsheim Crane began its Heavy Lift Division to provide expanded service in ND, MN, SD, MT, WY, NE, IA, WI, and MO.
