Six Decades Of Machinery Expertise
Scarlett has helped manufacturers across the Midwest find the right equipment, the right guidance, and the right partner since 1966. We are proud to be entering our next sixty years the same way we started, focused entirely on your operation.
60 Years Strong
Rooted In Grand Rapids Serving The Midwest
Scarlett opened its doors in 1966 as a distributor serving the Upper Midwest woodworking industry. Over six decades, the company evolved from a general line distributor into a technology focused specialist, narrowing its lineup to premier machinery brands while expanding its expertise in engineering, service, and parts support.
What has not changed is the idea our founder, James Scarlett, built the company around: manufacturers deserve a machinery partner who understands their operation as well as they do. That idea still guides every recommendation our team makes today, from a first quote to years of ongoing support.
"We are committed to providing expert results and a quality, friendly experience from start to finish."
