California-based Gordon Brush Mfg. Co. Inc. has acquired Parker Brush Inc. Parker Brush’s manufacturing and operations will be relocated and folded into Gordon Brush’s 183,000-square-foot manufacturing facility, which is located in City of Industry, California.
Since 1959, Parker Brush has manufactured stock and custom brushes for the agriculture, food processing and electronics industries.
“We felt that Gordon Brush was the best fit to take Parker Brush to the next level, to continue our family tradition of individualized customer service, and to best manufacture our line of American-made brushes,” says founder and former CEO of Parker Brush Melody Orenchuk.
Ken Rakusin, president and CEO of Gordon Brush, says the acquisition will allow the company to reach new heights.
“The Parker Brush acquisition dramatically enhances our scale, product offerings and geographic reach— creating new synergies that better position us for future growth and investment in new and existing markets,” he says.
Established in 1951, Gordon Brush currently fabricates more than 2,000 types of brushes, including brass, nylon and natural-bristle brushes.
