Company Info

Our customer bases are in industries such as grain, wood by-products, cellulose fibers, animal feeds, pet foods, flour, pellets, powders, coffee beans, ground coffee and food products.

We also manufacture a line of industrial personnel elevators from 300 lbs. capacity to 1000 lbs. capacity.

We serve the entire United States and a growing export market, particularly in the handling of dry pet foods in Australia, the United Kingdom, Central America and S.E. Asia.

Our Company originated in 1859 under the name of Philip Smith, Founder and Machinist.

As in the early 1920’s, when the Philip Smith Manufacturing Company hit a downward trend, the same condition hit The Sidney Grain Machinery Company in the early 1960’s.

In May of 1966 a Corporation named Sidney Grain Machine Inc. was formed. This new Company did not purchase the Sidney Grain Machinery Company as a Company but purchased the Product Line, part of the real estate, most of the manufacturing machinery and what inventory they could use.

Our grain handling line of manufactured equipment is the oldest in continuous operation in the United States. Due to our increased market share in the handling of many other dry bulk materials, we changed our name in July 1990 to take the “Grain” out of our name and thus become Sidney Manufacturing Company.
