Fairfield, Iowa is the home of Harper Brush Works.
The corporate offices are located at the site of the
original manufacturing site, pictured top left. At one time
all of Harper's offices, manufacturing and distribution
operations were housed at this location.
In 1996, Harper Brush Works purchased a larger
manufacturing facility in the Fairfield Industrial Park and
moved the Brush Fill, Shipping and Receiving departments to
the new location, leaving the Woodworking operations in the
original location. This expansion, pictured second down on
the left, allowed Harper to install both a streamlined
manufacturing process and a high-tech order picking system. |

In April of 2001, Harper Brush Works expanded their
west coast presence with the purchase National Broom Company. The
purchase added new manufacturing capabilities and better
distribution service to the Western United States. In 2005, with
increased business demands the Company moved into a location with
larger manufacturing and distribution capabilities, pictured third
down on the left. The Company used the move as an opportunity to
design work flow around Lean Manufacturing principals. Logistics
Management recognized the "best practices" approach with a
Silver Award.

In January of 2005, Harper Brush Works expanded again through the
acquisition of a facility located in Greenville, North Carolina,
pictured lower left. The investment not only facilitated
distribution to the Eastern United States, but also added injection
molding capabilities. The equipment and staff experience allows
Harper Brush Works to further a commitment to keeping the United
States' manufacturing base strong and provide jobs in the US, by
manufacturing products and components previously purchased abroad.
