         SCOTSMAN INDUSTRIES REPORTS STRONG EARNINGS GAIN IN 1993;
           NET INCOME UP 16 PERCENT -- EARNINGS PER SHARE $1.06



  Vernon  Hills, IL,  February 18,  1994   -- Scotsman  Industries, Inc.

  (NYSE: SCT) today  reported 1993 net income of $7.4  million, a record

  $1.06 per share, up 16 percent from 1992 earnings, on  sales of $164.0

  million.  The results compare  to 1992 net income of $6.4  million, or

  $.90 per share, on sales of $168.7 million.

       For the fourth quarter  of 1993, Scotsman reported net  income of

  $209,000, or $.03 per share, on sales of $32.1 million.   For the same

  quarter in 1992, the company lost $97,000, or $.01 per share, on sales

  of  $32.2 million.  The fourth quarter is traditionally a down quarter

  for  Scotsman, primarily due to  the seasonality of  the company's ice

  machine businesses.

       Richard  C.  Osborne,  Scotsman  chairman,  president  and  chief

  executive officer,  said, "1993  results reflect the  initial benefits

  from several  recent strategic actions, including  our acquisitions of

  Crystal Tips and Simag, our exclusive marketing agreement for 

                                  - 5 - <PAGE>
 


  the  Howe  flaker product  line,  and  the restructuring  of  European

  operations during the year.  We are pleased  to report record earnings

  per share despite the  deep recession in Western European  markets and

  the effects of a substantial devaluation of the Italian lira."

       He  noted  that full  year sales  of  $164 million  were impacted

  approximately  $12 million when compared to 1992 due to translation of

  the  sales of the Company's  Italian businesses at  weaker lira rates.

  Fiscal year  1993 sales of  continuing businesses (excluding  the 1992

  sales of the  Glenco-Star operation which  was divested in  September,

  1992),  using constant  foreign  exchange rates,  were  up 12  percent

  compared to 1992.

       Worldwide ice machine sales for the year increased 6 percent, and

  excluding changes in foreign  exchange rates, were up 14  percent over

  the  prior year.  Domestic  ice machine sales  increased strongly as a

  result of the improving domestic market, the January, 1993 addition of

  the Howe flaker product line and the full  year effect of sales of the

  products of Crystal Tips, which was acquired in April, 1992.  Although

  Western  European markets  remain  very weak,  the Company's  European

  operations  posted  increased  sales,  largely due  to  sales  of  the

  products of Simag, the Italian ice machine 



                                  - 6 - <PAGE>
 


  business  acquired in  January, 1993,  and, to  a lesser  extent, from

  continuing growth  in exports to  the Far East.   Sales of  soft drink

  dispensing equipment were equal to the record 1992 level.  

       Operating profit  margins increased significantly  from the prior

  year,  reflecting  ongoing cost  reduction  efforts  and partial  year

  benefits  from  the restructuring  of  European  operations.   Reduced

  interest  expense,  the  result  of  lower  average  debt  levels  and

  favorable rates, also contributed to the increase in net income.

       Osborne continued, "The  recently announced  acquisitions of  The

  Delfield Company and Whitlenge  Drink Equipment, Limited are scheduled

  to  be completed  early in  the  second quarter  of 1994.   These  two

  companies provide  an excellent  fit with Scotsman's  core businesses.

  The  two combined had in excess of  $100 million in sales in 1993, and

  we believe both have solid growth potential."

       "We also expect to realize additional  benefits from the previous

  acquisitions we have made, including overhead cost reductions from the

  consolidation  of  the  Crystal   Tips  and  Booth,  Inc.  operations,

  scheduled to be completed in the first half of 



                                  - 7 - <PAGE>
 


  1994.  Additionally, we  believe we are extremely well  positioned for

  and  expect to gain  from a Western European  market rebound when that

  begins to materialize.  We are excited about our opportunities for the

  future  and the  potential for  increased value  we can  bring to  our

  customers, shareholders and employees," Osborne concluded.

  (i)  The effective income  tax rate increased from 37%  to 45% for the
       fiscal year ended  January 2,  1994 compared to  the prior  year.
       This  was  due primarily  to the  implementation  of a  change in
       accounting  for  income  taxes  in  the first  quarter  of  1993.
       Certain  tax credits realized in the fiscal year ended January 3,
       1993 arising from a prior reorganization of an Italian subsidiary
       are now recognized  as part of the one-time cumulative adjustment
       to  deferred taxes (see note  ii) and are  recorded separately as
       such in the income statement for the fiscal year ended January 2,
       1994.

  (ii) Changes  in  accounting  principles  related  to  post-retirement
       health  care, post-employment  expenses  and  income  taxes  were
       implemented  in the first quarter of 1993.  The cumulative effect
       of these accounting changes was as follows:

            Unfavorable cumulative effect  of accounting change due
            to post-retirement health care benefits  (in thousands)
            of $(1,660) pre-tax and $(1,029) after-tax.

            Unfavorable cumulative effect of accounting  change due
            to  other  post-employment benefits  (in  thousands) of
            $(508) pre-tax and $(243) after-tax.

            Favorable  cumulative  effect   of  accounting   change
            relating to income taxes (in thousands) of $1,301.

  (iii)     The  calculation  of  net  income  per  share  was  based on
            7,000,651 weighted  average shares  of the  Company's common
            stock  for  the fiscal  year ended  January  2, 1994  and on
            7,096,976 shares for the fiscal year  ended January 3, 1993.
            The net  income per share  calculation does not  reflect the
            dilutive effect of stock options outstanding as the dilutive
            effect is immaterial. <PAGE>
