How to fan fiery growth - Nomad Technologies of Kalispell, Montana
| April 17, 2008 |  View for printing |
The four founders of Nomad Technologies http://www.nomadtechs.com have been best friends since college, when they spent summers working as raft guides in Montana. Back then, when forest fires broke out, the partners volunteered to drive emergency-response teams around the area. Five years ago, after watching firefighters wait in long lines for pay phones, the foursome left their guide jobs to create a remote-communications company. Two years later they began building mobile vehicles equipped with their technology.
Today the founders remain friends, and Nomad http://www.nomadtechs.com , based in Kalispell, Mont., has evolved. Business is booming: The 23-employee company, which had sales of more than $3 million in 2006, recently landed a -multimillion-dollar contract to build training vehicles for the U.S. Army and has moved into a larger facility. But the owners worry about how to handle the explosive growth.
