Sales Office Manager / International Accounts Manager

If you ask Edna Dale what a “typical” day looks like at Scotchman Industries, don’t expect a calm, predictable answer. With her signature honesty (and just a little sparkle in her eye), she’ll tell you it’s a “you-know-what show.” Around here, typical isn’t really a thing—and that’s part of the fun.

For nearly three decades, Edna has been one of the driving forces behind the daily operations of the sales office. As Sales Office Manager and International Accounts Manager, she oversees everything from data entry and shipping to invoicing, returns, consignment tracking, commissions, freight claims, and international sales. If it keeps the wheels turning, Edna is somewhere in the middle of it—keeping things moving forward.

And she does it all with grit, humor, and just the right amount of feistiness.

Edna thrives on the new and never-ending challenges that come her way. Every day brings something unexpected—an urgent request, a last-minute change, an international curveball—and she meets it head-on. She genuinely enjoys the problem-solving and the fast pace. The chaos? That’s just part of the excitement.

Of course, even the best jugglers have their moments. Some days, the biggest challenge is maintaining a smile (and sanity) while balancing it all. As Edna says, “I always smile. Sometimes it’s just buried very deep within and doesn’t have time to surface.” That sense of humor—and that feisty resilience—has carried her through almost 30 years of being a vital player in keeping operations running smoothly.

Before bringing her talents to Scotchman, Edna worked as a veterinary assistant—another role that required quick thinking and a steady hand. Her background includes Midland High School and Black Hills State University, and her commitment to service extends far beyond the office. She has been a certified EMT for more than 30 years, is a Lifetime Member of the South Dakota EMS Association, and has served on its Executive Council for 17 years. Calm under pressure isn’t just a workplace skill—it’s part of who she is.

When she’s not keeping the sales office on track, Edna enjoys spending time with family and friends, competing in puzzle competitions, and diving into murder mysteries—especially books by James Patterson or lighter reads from Nora Roberts and J. D. Robb. She’s a loyal fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers, a crime-show junkie who recently binge-watched Landman and Criminal Minds, and she proudly drives her Jeep Grand Cherokee—better known as “The Tank.”

If she ever won the lottery, she’d celebrate with a Diet Coke and a Bud Light. If she could change one thing in the world, she’d address world hunger. And if she could choose any superpower? Kindness.

Edna may describe her day as a little chaotic, and she may keep that smile tucked away sometimes—but her dedication, loyalty, and spirited personality are impossible to miss. She’s strong, sharp, caring, and yes—just feisty enough to keep everyone on their toes.

After nearly three decades, Edna Dale isn’t just part of the sales office at Scotchman Industries—she’s part of its backbone.

Thanks, Edna — we love having you on the Scotchman team!

Al Kochersberger celebrates 25 years with Scotchman Industries!

Scotchman Industries — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 13:00:02 GMT

On January 29, 2001, Al Kochersberger joined Scotchman Industries as a welder. Back then, we had six other welders working for us. Over time, as technology and our processes changed, the number of welders dropped to two with Al welding most of the machines and the other welder focusing on smaller parts & machines. In his 25 years here, Al estimates he has trained a dozen different welders--including his dad, Larry. For twelve years it was just Al and Larry in the welding department at Scotchman.

Ironworker Custom Tooling

Built for Power and Precision: Custom Four-Hole Punch Tool for the FI125 Ironworker

At Scotchman Industries, custom tooling is all about helping fabricators work faster, cleaner, and more efficiently. This custom punch tool is a perfect example—engineered to deliver power, precision, and productivity on an FI125 ironworker.

Designed to punch four holes simultaneously in up to 3/8” mild steel, this tool maximizes output without sacrificing accuracy. The tool shown is punching 9/16” × 1-1/8” oval holes with a shear top punch, producing clean, consistent results while operating at maximum rated tonnage through 3/8” × 6” wide mild steel.

Key Design Features

Fixed 4” center-to-center hole layout
Individually adjustable die holders for precise alignment
Built to handle full tonnage demands of the FI125
Heavy-duty construction for long-term reliability

Flexibility was a major design focus. The punches can be rotated 90°, and the tool accommodates virtually any hole shape using standard #40 punches and #82 dies. For added versatility in material handling, the stripper assembly can be reoriented for left-to-right feeding, allowing the tool to adapt to different shop layouts and workflows.

A custom stop was added to the stripper plate to ensure consistent positioning and repeatable results. This feature can be customized based on the specific application, further improving efficiency and accuracy during production runs.

Custom Solutions Built Around Your Process

This project highlights how Scotchman’s custom tooling solutions are designed around real-world fabrication needs. From multi-hole punching to application-specific layouts, our team works closely with customers to create tools that integrate seamlessly with their ironworker and production goals.
