Novelty Machine & Supply Co. first opened its doors in Sioux City, Iowa in 1876. The company was originally a foundry which produced wrought iron trim but quickly adapted to meet the industrial needs of the area. Moving from steam engine assembly, through machine work and automotive parts, Novelty Machine & Supply Co. continued to grow as a job-shop and industrial distributor. Today, Novelty Machine & Supply Co. is unique in the services they provide. Novelty represents over 150 manufacturers of power transmission, industrial plumbing, material handling, air compressors, generators and engines. Novelty also maintains a comprehensive machine shop for rebuilding or refurbishing custom parts and a service department to help take care of the maintenance of the products it sells.
