About Seymour Midwest

Company Overview

From Our Hands to Yours Since 1872

Our Story

Seymour Midwest is a family-owned American tool company founded in 1872 — not a commodity distributor, but a true toolmaker. From our manufacturing facilities in Indiana and Tennessee, we supply contractors, farmers, ranchers, landscapers, and handymen with over 3,500 tools and 8,000 repair handles worldwide.

The quality, dependability, and performance of our products meet the high standards of those who use tools every day. Our diverse selection of products and brands allows our customers to order all of their tool needs from a single source — with the confidence that every handle is precision-turned and every blade engineered for the task.

Beyond best-in-class products, Seymour Midwest is also known as a leader in outstanding customer service, product training, and technical support across all of our business segments.

As a family-owned company, we believe in the values of integrity, quality, commitment, and innovation — and we stand behind every product we make.

Our Heritage

Toolmakers Since 1872

Ever notice why some tools feel stronger than others? It starts with our contoured precision lathe-turned Ash and Hickory handles. We've never stopped engineering and manufacturing task-specific tools — that commitment to craftsmanship is what sets us apart from commodity distributors.

Brand Consistency

It's All About the Brands

We're proud of the brands that call Seymour Midwest® home.
