Our Journey

While fly fishing in Colorado, we saw waste tires and plastics in the river and wondered, “What can we do to make a difference?” This led to an adventurous journey of product research, design, development, and heavy duty prototypes. After many years of coffees, beers, and armchair quarterbacks, Pretred launched its first manufacturing facility in  Aurora, Colorado in 2022. 

We are an environmentally responsible company committed to inspiring sustainable development.

Let’s build a better way together!
