Scotchman Industries - 50 Years of American Manufacturing

Описание: Firmly rooted in tradition, with an eye on the future, Scotchman Industries, Inc., is celebrating its Hydraulic Ironworker’s 50th birthday this year. It’s been half a century since Scotchman debuted its hydraulic-powered ironworker and we are honored to have served the manufacturing industry in America and abroad over the years. Although five decades have passed since Arthur A. Kroetch founded the company, Scotchman has remained committed to building high-quality dependable products, providing first-class customer service and believing in the strength of American manufacturing.


Founded in 1967, Scotchman introduced its industry revolutionizing product, the 35-ton hydraulic-powered ironworker, with only six employees. Today, employing almost eighty people, Scotchman manufactures fourteen different models of ironworkers, ranging from 45-tons to 150-tons in three distinctive styles; as well as a complete line of circular cold saws.

That machine would alter the course of not only Kroetch’s career, but offer steady employment opportunities for the residents of Philip, South Dakota. Just as the highly efficient hydraulic pressure of his machines could fabricate metal to the customers needs, Scotchman helped mold the small town, Kroetch held dear to his heart, into a home for many hard-working American families.
