A new chapter begins.

We're excited to announce that Bates Earthmoving has officially become Bates Group Industries.

Over the years, our business has continued to grow and evolve, and this new name better reflects who we are today and where we're headed in the future.

While our name has changed, the things that matter most haven't - we're still the same family-owned business committed to providing reliable, high-quality services and building strong relationships with our clients and industry partners.

We'd like to thank our clients, employees, subcontractors, family and friends for their continued support. We wouldn't be where we are today without you.

We're proud of how far we've come and excited for what's ahead as Bates Group Industries.

Here's to the next chapter.
