BOCA Construction, Inc. began business in 1978 with a Galion RP-42 Road Grinder and two employees, Mike Bockrath and Joe Caizzo. The purchase of a Barber Greene RX-40 took place in 1981 allowing BOCA to deliver similar quality with higher production rates. It was quickly determined that modifications would allow even more production and accuracy. In-house enhancements not only engaged BOCA's employees but also created advantages over competitors.
'80s
BOCA experienced steady growth throughout much of the late '80s. This led to the purchase of the first CMI 800/7 produced in the United States. The advantages of this machine were clearly evident and affirmed BOCA's central focus on horsepower. Knowledge and experience from the CMI would inspire numerous modifications to BOCA's future milling machines.
'90s
During the '90s BOCA remained ahead of the ever-changing construction industry as milling machines became the answer to road widening and pavement repair. BOCA designed a variable width cutting head enabling precise execution while providing customers options which maximized cost efficiency and productivity.
2000s
Growth continued throughout the 2000s leading to the purchase of several Wirtgen milling machines. BOCA continued to use the experience and knowledge gained from years past to modify these machines in order to continue delivering superior quality and productivity.
2010s
Advancements to equipment emerged in the early twenty-tens. BOCA elected to invest in various machine models that were new to the market.
Employee training became a focus as new machines were added to the fleet and new hires were welcomed to the BOCA family.
2019
April 1, 2019 marked the completion of BOCA's succession plan. Mike Bockrath and Joe Caizzo sold their final stake to Aidan McDonnell and Keith Weatherly.
Mike and Joe's principles continue to provide the foundation to BOCA Construction.
Today
Today, BOCA proudly has over 80 employees, operates 35 machines and offers eight services to Ohio and the surrounding states. Dedication to safety, innovative thinking and customer satisfaction is alive and well.
BOCA Construction looks forward to delivering exceptional services to its valued customers for many years to come.
