Our History

BUILDING QUALITY SCREENING SOLUTIONS SINCE 1976

SINCE 1976

Rawson Manufacturing was founded in 1976 with the mission to build quality equipment for the public. This new business endeavor was the culmination of the decades of experience the Rawson family spent creating the equipment necessary for their own sand and gravel operation. 

From the beginning, Rawson Manufacturing has had a stellar reputation for building high-quality, portable screening plants, conveyors, stackers, and other equipment for leading material suppliers throughout the country. Rawson screening plants are known to be highly productive, durable, long-lasting, and easy to repair; in fact, many of the first manufactured plants are still in operation today!

Our team consists of long-tenured employees that take great pride in their work and don’t back down from any of our customers’ challenges. We look forward to continuing our tradition of building high-quality, durable equipment for you…and your friends!
