Iron Threads Co. exists to celebrate the lifestyles and collective success of every ESS Companies employee-owner, and those impacted by the work they do.

Iron Threads Co. was built for the people who keep the world moving. The employee‑owners who show up day after day with grit, pride, and a commitment to doing the job right.

Our purpose is simple: to create gear that works as hard as they do, on and off the jobsite.

We’re here to represent the real, lived experiences of crews from Colorado to Phoenix to Arkansas and everywhere in between.

At Iron Threads Co., employee-owners aren’t the unsung heroes of our communities — they’re the main characters.

We exist to celebrate them with gear that gets it.

Why the Heck a Bison?
So—what exactly does a bison have to do with ESS Companies or a crew of heavy-civil brands? Fair question.
Here’s the deal. The bison is built for tough country. Solid footing. Thick hide. Broad shoulders. It stands its ground when the weather turns and keeps moving when the terrain gets rough. Day after day, it pushes through whatever’s in front of it. No fuss. Just grit and steady forward motion.
Sound familiar? That’s the same kind of toughness you’ll find across ESS Companies. Employee-owners who show up early, put in the work, and keep this thing moving—no matter the conditions.
So yeah, we’ve got a little in common with the bison. Don’t be surprised if you see one roaming around a few of the collections.
