OUR HISTORY


A Legacy of Leadership And Growth

Below is the historical timeline that represents the hard work, decisions, and people that have made ASP Enterprises into what it is today.

1976

Founding & Early Growth

ASP Enterprises is founded in St. Louis, Missouri by Harold Bade. Harold saw a commercial for the “Miracle fabric”, Mirafi, a black fabric that supposedly would extend the life of pavement. He sold 20 rolls that first year, purchased a full truckload the next year, and proceeded to be a technical source to the St. Louis engineering community for geosynthetics, a very new idea.

1994

Kansas City Office Opening

ASP Enterprises expands service area with the opening of our new office in Kansas City, Missouri. Harold was asked to take his business knowledge to the Kansas City market. For 18 months it was a fledgling branch working out of a basement. 

2000

Growth in Nebraska

ASP Enterprises expands its service area again with the opening of our new office in Omaha, Nebraska. This new location allows ASP to serve customers in Nebraska, western Iowa and southern South Dakota. Wayne McFarland, Harold's right-hand man from St. Louis, moved to Omaha to run the branch.
