Brushes for the Fresh Packing and Produce Industries
American Brush has been a leader in serving the agricultural industry since 1910.  From orange groves in the hot and dry southwest to the cranberry bogs in the northeast, we understand the importance of successful marketing of fresh produce, and we pride ourselves in our expertise in design and manufacturing of brushes that clean, wax and process all types of agriculture for maximum presentation.  Our brushes are made for nearly every type of fresh pack produce all over the world, including New Zealand, Costa Rica and Russia.
American Brush offers a wide selection of core diameters, trims, bristle density and filament types.  Fresh produce comes in many varieties from very different environments.  With our expertise, we can help you decide what is best for your application.
 
American Brush can provide the drive castings for most types of machinery.  We offer a wide availability of drive ends for standard or specially modified machines, including metric!
 
American Brush has the capability to meet the most rigid specifications. We are equipped with the ability to accomodate your intricate needs.
 
American Brush is proud of our outstanding reputation for customer service and satisfaction.  Ensuring our customers that we meet our delivery commitments and providing prompt response to their needs is our priority.
