About scotchman

We are proud to say that our world-famous ironworkers are still made in small-town Philip, South Dakota, USA — where quality craftsmanship and American manufacturing traditions run deep. For decades, Scotchman Industries has focused on building rugged, high-performance machines that customers trust to last for generations. Our hydraulic ironworkers, cold saws, and presses are designed to deliver unmatched durability and reliability for metal fabricators of all sizes.

Today, Scotchman is part of SMX Industrial Solutions, a growing family of industry-leading companies united around a shared commitment to innovation, productivity, and customer service. SMX Industrial brings together Scotchman Industries, Steelmax Tools (a producer of advanced fabrication and welding mechanization solutions), and Preston Eastin (a specialist in robotic and welding positioning systems), creating a comprehensive suite of fabrication tools and solutions for shops, manufacturers, and industrial operations across North America and beyond.

Under the SMX Industrial umbrella, we are able to expand our product offerings and leverage the combined expertise of our sister companies — while still upholding the same values of quality, innovation, and service that have defined Scotchman for generations. Whether it’s classic ironworkers built in South Dakota or specialized welding and positioning solutions from our partners, we’re committed to helping customers work smarter, faster, and more efficiently.
