About Modern Equipment Company
CONSISTENT QUALITY SINCE 1919
Modern Equipment started in business in 1919 with a small line of ladles and pouring devices developed by founder Max Goldberg, and was originally known as The Modern Pouring Device Company.
The business moved into the iron and steel foundry business and introduced the Hot-Blast Cupola to the industry in the 1940’s. As aluminum casting began to take center stage in the 1980’s, Modern licensed and further developed Stack Melt technology for the North American market, and positioned itself as the market leader for these systems. Modern has engineered customized ladling, handling and melting solutions for customers both in North America and worldwide.

WHAT SETS US APART
Why buy ladles from modern equipment?
our industry mix makes us better
At Modern Equipment we build industrial ladles (from X to Z for size) and across many different metals and products. We build ladles for steel plants, ladles for gold refineries, silver smelting, aluminum and crucibles for magnesium. We have even built tar material handling ladles for the roofing industry.
LOWEST COST OF OWNERSHIP
We do not claim to be the cheapest ladle manufacturer, and may be on the premium side when it comes to pricing. What is striking to us is when a customer calls us with questions for a ladle that we made 30, 40 and even 50 years ago!
SERVICE AND SUPPORT
Ladle maintenance is critical to the longevity, safety and efficacy in manufacturing. We offer maintenance and spare parts to our supplied equipment.
