Rocklin Manufacturing Transforms Historic Building into New Headquarters



Rocklin Manufacturing, headquartered in Sioux City, IA, has a long and storied history that began in 1934 during the height of The Depression. Just eight years later, founder I.J. Rocklin moved the company to a uniquely constructed, two-story brick building built in 1912. Now, after a massive restoration effort that began in 2016, the company once again is calling this historic building home.

The company's roots were in farm equipment, but its focus shifted in 1942 to full-time support of the World War II effort. The company was awarded the prestigious Ordnance Flag in honor of its outstanding wartime production.

After World War II, the company's products ranged from tractor blades to lawn mowers to water level controls and more, always with a focus on driving productivity improvements and cost savings for its customers. In the mid-1960s, I.J. Rocklin invented the company's core product, the Rocklinizer Carbide Application Equipment.

Rocklin Manufacturing now has two facets of its business. It manufactures two products sold worldwide through a global sales and distribution network. The core product remains the Rocklinizer, which applies a hard and wear resistant surface to extend the life of metals, tools and dies. The newest version, the Model 950, accomplishes this faster and with heavier deposit capabilities. The other product Rocklin manufactures is the MoldMender Micro Welder, which repairs plastic injection molds and dies made of steel.

The company also selectively imports products for distribution throughout North America: Markator dot peen and scribe marking equipment, including the FlyMarker battery-operated marking unit from Germany; the LaserEvo fiber laser marking equipment from Italy; and the Lase One Micro Welder from France.
