          SCOTSMAN INDUSTRIES REPORTS RECORD THIRD QUARTER RESULTS;
                      COMPANY ALSO ANNOUNCES SEC FILING


   Third quarter net income of $6.0 million, or $0.56 per share, up from
   year-ago net income of $5.8 million or $0.54 per share.

   Net sales up 72 percent to $159.7 million (including Kysor sales of
   $65.0 million), from year-ago sales of $92.8 million.

   Scotsman today filed an SEC registration for a proposed offering of
   $100 million of 10-year notes and a proposed secondary offering of 1.6
   million shares of common stock.


        Vernon Hills, IL, October 22, 1997 -- Scotsman Industries, Inc.

   (NYSE: SCT) a leading international manufacturer of commercial

   refrigeration products, today reported net income of $6.0 million for

   the third quarter ended September 28, 1997, or $0.56 per share -- up

   from year-ago net income of $5.8 million, or $0.54 per share.  The

   Company also reported third quarter net sales of $159.7 million, up 72

   percent from $92.8 million reported in the comparable 1996 period.


<PAGE>  6


   For the nine months, net income before extraordinary charges

   totaled $17.0 million, or $1.57 per share, compared to year ago net

   income of $16.5 million, or $1.54 per share.  Sales for the nine

   months were $431.5 million, up 53 percent from $282.7 million in the

   same period of 1996.

        "While lower than originally anticipated, sales and earnings

   reached a record third quarter level despite continuing softness in

   some markets.  We see signs that our European ice machine markets are

   stabilizing, and we are beginning to realize cost improvements in our

   food preparation and storage equipment operations, reinforcing our

   optimism for future earnings growth," said Richard C. Osborne,

   Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Scotsman.

        Osborne continued:  "Kysor's results for the quarter contributed

   significantly to the company's overall results.  Kysor is accretive to

   Scotsman's earnings per share year-to-date and is expected to be

   accretive for the full year.  The Kysor revenues of $65.0 million

   represented a 70 percent addition to the company's total revenues for

   the quarter.  Kysor's backlog of supermarket orders remains at record

   levels with good growth potential for 1998, and we are pleased with

   the current performance of the operation as well as its long term

   prospects."

        "Benefiting from an expanding customer base, revenues from

   Delfield's food preparation and storage equipment operations were up

   11 percent over the same period last year.  We've begun to see early

   signs of improving productivity at Delfield that should result in

   increased operating margins in the future.  Beverage equipment sales


<PAGE>  7


   were up 4 percent for the quarter on strong sales from our U.K.-based

   operations and increased penetration of the European markets.  Ice

   machines were flat at constant exchange rates compared to the same

   quarter last year and were down 4 percent in U.S. dollars due to

   translation of Italian units' sales at weaker lire rates.  We have

   reported previously that high European distributor inventories had

   depressed Scotsman's 1997 first half ice machine sales.  The improving

   year over year comparison for the third quarter indicates that these

   inventories are returning to more normal levels, giving us optimism

   for improvement in sales in the coming year," Osborne concluded.

        With long-term debt of $356 million, the company's balance sheet

   leverage for the third quarter is in line with the Company's

   expectations.

        Scotsman today filed a registration statement with the Securities

   and Exchange Commission for a proposed offering of $100 million of 10-

   year notes.  The proceeds from this offering will be used to repay

   outstanding bank debt.  At the same time, the existing bank credit

   facility is being renegotiated to gain additional flexibility.  In

   conjunction with the registration, the Company will also register

   approximately 1.6 million shares of common stock for a proposed

   secondary offering of shares held by affiliates of Onex Corporation,

   which has exercised its registration rights under a prior agreement

   with Scotsman.  The proceeds of this secondary offering will be for

   the benefit of such Onex affiliates and other shareholders who are

   parties to the registration rights agreement.

   (i)  PRIMARY :  Primary earnings per common share are computed by
        dividing net income available to common shareholders by the
        weighted average number of common shares and common stock
        equivalents outstanding during each period:  10,813,359 and
        9,474,377 for the three months ended September 28, 1997, and
        September 29, 1996, respectively.  The computation includes the
        dilutive impact of common stock options outstanding.

   (ii) FULLY DILUTED:  The calculation of fully-diluted net income per
        share is based on net income before preferred stock dividends. 
        The number of shares assumes the conversion of the Company's
        outstanding convertible preferred stock from the date of issue. 
        The total number of shares used in the fully-diluted calculation
        for the three months ended September 28, 1997, and September 29,
        1996, were 10,817,713 and 10,730,902, respectively.

    (i) PRIMARY:  Primary earnings per common share are computed by
        dividing net income available to common shareholders by the
        weighted average number of common shares and common stock
        equivalents outstanding during each period:  10,803,978 and
        9,310,155 for the nine months ended September 28, 1997, and
        September 29, 1996, respectively.  The computation includes the
        dilutive impact of common stock options outstanding.

   (ii) FULLY DILUTED:  The calculation of fully-diluted net income per
        share is based on net income before preferred stock dividends. 
        The number of shares assumes the conversion of the Company's
        outstanding convertible preferred stock from the date of issue. 
        The total number of shares used in the fully-diluted calculation
        for the nine months ended September 28, 1997, and September 29,
        1996, were 10,811,621 and 10,726,127, respectively.
