M4 Sherman tanks on a production line at the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) plant in Schenectady, New York. They also owned Montreal Locomotive Works. ALCO made several versions of the Sherman up to 1943. American Locomotive produced 2300 Shermans in two models, the M4 (75) and M4A2 (75).

The Baldwin Locomotive Works (BLM) produced 1245 Sherman tanks in two variants, the M4 (75) and the M4A2 (75).

The Chrysler Defense Arsenal (CDA) produced M4A4, and M4 tanks as well and M4 105s, M4A3(105)s, and M4A3 76 tank, 17,947 of them. Chrysler was the sole producer of M4A3E8 76(W) Shermans nicknamed “Easy 8”. They produced 2,617 units, but post-war many A3 76 tanks were converted over to HVSS suspension. Most of the overall Sherman production came from this factory and it went on to produce M26 Pershing tanks.

Federal Machine & Welder (FMW) produced 540 Sherman tanks, all M4A2 (75) models.

Fisher Tanks Arsenal (FTA) in Grand Blanc, south of Flint Michigan. FTA produced a large number of the small hatch M4A2 which were sent to Russia, and a few of the rarer large hatch 75mm gun tanks, around 986 small hatch tanks, and about 286 large hatch tanks. They also produced nearly 1,600 large hatch, 76mm gun tanks, or the M4A2 (76)w. These tanks went almost exclusively to Russia as part of Lend Lease. FTA built 11,358 Sherman tanks in six versions, the M4A2 (75), M4A3 (75)W, M4A2 (76)W, M4A3 (76)W, and the M4A3E2.

Ford Motor Company (FMC) produced 1,690 small hatch Sherman tanks between June of 1942 and Oct 1943. They also built 1,038 M10A1s.

Lima Locomotive Works (LLW) built 1,655 M4A1 tanks.

Montreal Locomotive Works (MLW) was owned by American Locomotive. They produced the Canadian Ram and Ram II tank based on the Lee tank chassis, armed with a 2 pounder in the Ram, and a 6 pounder, in the Ram IIs. They produced almost 2,000 of them. They then built about 188 M4A1 “Grizzly”, tanks. A very few had an all metal track system that required a different sprocket. Other than that and a British radio, there was no difference between a Grizzly and an M4A1 manufactured by any other Sherman builder.

Pacific Car & Foundry (PCF) in Bellevue, Washington, produced 926 M4A1s from May of 1942 to November of 1943.

Pressed Steel Car (PST) Joliet, Illinois, produced a total of 8,147 Shermans tanks in four types, M4 (75), M4A1 (75), M4A1 (76)W, and the M4A2 (76)W.
