Back in 1872 Seymour Manufacturing was a premier manufacturer of wagon wheel spokes and hubs. In the late 1800s, the company adapted to meet the growing demand for scythes and grain cradles. The wagon wheel business is gone and scythes are rare, but Seymour is stronger than ever building quality lawn and garden and contractor hand tools and fireplaces accessories for a range of home, farm, commercial and industrial applications. The company is also a leader in both hardwood and fiberglass handles. Its sawmill in Indiana is the starting point in the manufacture of premium quality North American hardwood handles. Realizing that many future tools would have fiberglass handles, Seymour acquired Structron Corporation in 1995. Structron has been a industry leader in the development and manufacture of extra-strong fiberglass handles and fiberglass handled tools. Seymour Manufacturing maintains a location in Sequatchie, Tenn.
