Core offering

Osmundson manufactures heat-treated ground-engaging wear products (coulter blades, disc blades, and planter/grain drill blades) from U.S.-sourced steel at its Perry, Iowa facility. The company controls the full manufacturing process in-house, including steel forming, heat treatment, powder coating, and final assembly, and supplies these products as OEM components and through distributor networks to agricultural, construction, forestry, mining, and landfill compaction equipment makers. In addition to blade products, Osmundson offers contract manufacturing services including engineering, custom blade design, metal heat treatment, powder coating, and kitted assemblies.

Product overview

Osmundson Manufacturing Company offers a comprehensive portfolio of ground-engaging wear products and contract manufacturing services. Their core product lines include Coulter Blades, Disc Blades, Planter & Grain Drill Blades, Patented Blades, and Custom Blades—all manufactured in the USA using U.S.-sourced steel with in-house heat treatment. The product line features distinct brand variants (Turbo, Samurai, Turbospeed, High Speed, Notched, Ripple, Wavy, Plain) tailored for different soil conditions and applications. Complementing the blade products, Osmundson provides four manufacturing services: Final Assembly (ready-to-mount assemblies), Engineering (design and R&D support), Metal Heat Treatment (annealing, hardening, tempering, normalizing), and Powder-Coating (protective finishes). A digital Product Match Tool helps customers select the right blade configuration based on machine type, soil type, and size.
