What Cutting Edge Supply does
Cutting Edge Supply is a Colton, California-based heavy equipment wear parts distributor and integrated steel fabrication services company founded in 1950 as Black Diamond Blade Co. and rebranded under its current name. The company sells ground engaging tools (cutting edges, teeth, adapters, buckets, auger bits), crushing and screening media, undercarriage parts, scraper and asphalt/paving parts, and SSAB steel plate (Hardox, Duroxite, Strenx, Armox), while providing in-house custom steel fabrication, CNC plate cutting up to 8 inches thick, precision machining, steel forming via 2,100-ton press brakes, tungsten carbide embedding, hard chrome plating through the Chrome Craft division (Sacramento, operating since 1963), welding repair, hydraulic cylinder repair, pin remanufacturing, and on-site field service. Its primary end markets are mining, construction, and material processing (aggregate, asphalt, sand and gravel), with secondary exposure to waste and recycling, agriculture, oil and refinery, plastic extrusion, and renewable energy.
The company distributes products through six physical branches in Colton, Sacramento, Lakeside (San Diego County), Phoenix, Sparks/Reno, and North Las Vegas — complemented by a fleet of 20+ delivery trucks providing complimentary regional delivery within a 150-mile radius and nationwide common carrier shipping beyond that. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales: over 20 MSHA-certified outside sales representatives conduct free on-site equipment evaluations, supported by inside sales at each branch for phone, email, and fax orders. The customer base consists of mining operations, construction contractors, aggregate producers, recycling facilities, and heavy equipment owners across the Western United States, with pricing quote-based on part type, material grade, and quantity.
Revenue is generated through three streams: wear parts distribution (hardware sales), custom fabrication services (professional services using CAD systems and 60,000+ archived drawings), and repair/remanufacturing services (welding, hydraulic, chrome plating, machining). Long-tenured distribution agreements with SSAB, Weir ESCO, Black Cat, Hensley, Pengo, Spokane Industries, Durex, and Kennametal anchor the product portfolio. In December 2025, the Brenner family transferred ownership to employees via ESOP, transitioning the company to 100% employee ownership.
