Ashland Industries was founded in 1953 on the simple notion of finding ways to Do More. At that time, farmers and contractors had to rely on one tractor or dozer to get the job done. Started by those same farmers and contractors, Ashland set out to create products that were compatible, effective and durable. We may have been around since 1953, but we function like a startup, we’re flexible, agile and committed to creating products that allow our customers to Do More. We like to think of ourselves as an extension of your crew, team, or family – on the ground and in the field listening and using our experience in scrapers, earthmoving and custom fabrications to help you deliver uncompromised results and value for generations to come. | We are passionate, tenacious solvers who thrive on developing practical, innovative, and elegant solutions to complex problems in applied chemistry, always pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, and advancing the competitiveness of our customers across diverse industries.
