Bic Group

What Bic Group does

BIC Group, LLC is a privately held Arizona-based sales and distribution company that represents two manufacturers in the road infrastructure vertical: PB Loader Corporation (pothole patchers and truck-mounted loaders) and PCT Inc.'s FASTPHALT division (patented, NSF-approved eco-friendly asphalt materials including release agents, tack, cleaning solutions, and dust control products). Founded in 2009 by Jim Kries, the company targets two end markets — Government entities responsible for road maintenance and Contractors performing commercial asphalt work — through a consultative sales motion augmented by free product demonstrations and "Street Smart" pothole repair best practices consulting classes.

The company's core technology is not self-developed; BIC Group's value-add sits in distribution, product curation, and after-sale support. PB Loader equipment consolidates dump truck and front-end loader functions into a single unit and is sold under a SourceWell cooperative purchasing contract, lowering procurement friction for public-sector buyers. FASTPHALT products — including PRIMEPATCH PHPM50 tack, which is claimed to extend pothole patch longevity by 3-5x — carry NSF approval for safe contact with drinking water and a 100% Money-Back Guarantee.

BIC Group's revenue mechanics blend higher-ticket equipment sales (pricing not publicly disclosed) with recurring consumables revenue from FASTPHALT materials sold in 55-gallon drums (approximately $2,475-$4,125 per unit, plus freight and tax) and 275-gallon totes (approximately $2,947-$3,012 per unit). A separate parts and service line provides after-sale support. The firm has 1-10 employees, has not raised external capital, operates from Arizona with no disclosed multi-state footprint, and has no digital or AI components in its offering.
