ARTS WAY MANUFACTURING CO INC ARTW
Art's-Way Manufacturing Co., Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Art's-Way," "we," "us," "our," and the "Company"), began operations as a farm equipment manufacturer in 1956. Since that time, we have become a worldwide manufacturer of agricultural equipment and specialized modular science and agricultural buildings. Our principal manufacturing plant and corporate headquarters is located in Armstrong, Iowa.
We have organized our business into two operating segments. Management separately evaluates the financial results of each segment because each is a strategic business unit offering different products and requiring different technology and marketing strategies. Our Agricultural Products segment manufactures and distributes farm equipment under the Art's-Way name. Our Modular Buildings segment manufactures modular buildings for various uses, commonly animal containment and research laboratories, through our wholly owned subsidiary, Art's-Way Scientific, Inc., an Iowa corporation. During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company ceased operations of its Tools business, which was reported in discontinued operations for the twelve months ended November 30, 2024. The remaining components of the Tools segment were disposed prior to the twelve months ended November 30, 2025. For detailed financial information relating to segment reporting, see Note 18, "Segment Information," to our financial statements in "Item 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA" of this report.
