Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year®
Distribution and Manufacturing
In 2000, after taking a different company from dire straits to a successful sale, Tim Sullivan rejoined Bucyrus International, which he had left two years before, and set about pulling the struggling company back from the brink. He reached his goal and more. In 2004, Bucyrus went public in one of the most successful offerings of that year. As President and CEO, Sullivan continued to steer the company to spectacular success, and earlier this year, the company was sold to Caterpillar Inc. for a whopping $8.6 billion.
