About Scotchman Industries Inc

Scotchman Industries was founded in 1949 in Philip, South Dakota, where it continues to manufacture its full line of metal fabrication equipment. The company is now part of SMX Industrial Solutions, a group that also includes Steelmax Tools and Preston Eastin, broadening its portfolio while maintaining production in its original facility. The company builds a complete range of American-made machinery for metal fabrication, including 14 models of hydraulic ironworkers from 45 to 150 tons, ferrous and non-ferrous cold saws in manual through fully automatic configurations, pipe notchers (manual, electric, and abrasive), hydraulic presses in 66-, 110-, and 176-ton capacities, measuring systems from manual to full-auto feed, as well as bandsaws, belt sanders, horizontal benders, and conveyor systems. Scotchman also produces tooling, accessories, and replacement parts, and operates an in-house blade sharpening service that typically returns high-speed steel blades within two business days. Scotchman’s equipment is used by metal fabrication shops, manufacturers, and industrial operations across North America and beyond, as well as by educational programs such as high school welding and fabrication classes. Customers cited on the company’s site include a fabrication shop in Canada and Petty Welding in Knoxville, Tennessee. Scotchman emphasizes that its ironworkers are 100% American-made and designed for decades of service, highlighting rugged construction, precision, and reliability as core differentiators. The SMX Industrial affiliation adds access to advanced welding mechanization and robotic positioning solutions, allowing the company to offer a more comprehensive fabrication toolkit.
