Sioux Steel Co. has acquired a longtime grain systems company on the West Coast.

SCAFO Grain Systems Co., based in Spokane, Washington, will extend Sioux Steel’s footprint in the Pacific Northwest, as well as offer friendlier international shipping options, Sioux Steel said in a statement.

The two companies combine for more than 164 years of providing customer service and manufacturing of grain systems, serving long-term customers all over the world. Products range from farm bins and farm/comm installations to complete commercial systems.

Both companies are family owned, and SCAFO will bring a variety of new products to Sioux Steel’s lineup, the company said.

“We are proud to be able to offer our customers more options and strategic avenues, and we now look forward to manufacturing and distributing even more of the quality products both companies are known for on a complete global level,” said Scott Rysdon, president and CEO of Sioux Steel.

The addition of SCAFCO products, machinery and factories will quickly increase Sioux Steel’s capacity to deliver products to customers worldwide, he continued, including offering “easily accessible U.S.-based customer support.”

While Sioux Steel still has a presence in downtown Sioux Falls, most of its operations are now in Lennox.
