Irwin Car and EquipmentIrwin Car and Equipment continues to grow with a vision of increased service to the markets they serve. Over the last several years, Irwin has strengthened its ability to support your operational requirements through the following acquisitions:

The Atlas Car product line adds the service, support and heavy-mill expertise of the former Division of Bliss-Salem. Atlas Car has been known throughout the primary metals industry as the leader in heavy-duty ladle, scrap and transfer cars for more than a century, and brings both proven design experience and deeper steel mill market exposure to Irwin Car.

Irwin's subsidiary, Phillips Mine and Mill, has been an industry standard for nearly 140 years in the design of mobile material handling equipment, “under hook” auto-dump and scrap buckets, and especially rubber-tired steerable trailers and transfer cars.
