From the Shop Floor to the National Stage: Scotchman Industries Featured on Magnolia Network

Scotchman was recently featured on the hit Magnolia Network series, Building Outside the Lines. This national spotlight isn't just a win for Scotchman; it’s a testament to the enduring power of American-made fabrication equipment and the skilled tradespeople who build it.

Where Creativity Meets Heavy Metal

Building Outside the Lines is known for celebrating unconventional creativity and thoughtful craftsmanship. While the show often focuses on unique architectural builds, this special episode took a deep dive into the "tools of the trade."

The episode highlights how Scotchman’s precision engineering and durable machinery—from their world-renowned Ironworkers to their high-performance cold saws—serve as the backbone for builders and creators across the country.

The People Behind the Machines

What makes Scotchman truly special isn’t just the steel and hydraulics; it’s the people in Philip, South Dakota. As General Manager Brad Heltzel noted, the feature provided a rare opportunity to showcase the "pride, craftsmanship, and attention to detail" that goes into every machine leaving their facility.

“Scotchman Industries is the real deal,” said Cappie, the star of Building Outside the Lines. We couldn’t agree more. Seeing the Scotchman team’s dedication to quality broadcast to a national audience reinforces why we are so committed to supporting the growth of U.S. manufacturing.
