“Michigan Brush and Dorden will add to our arsenal of amazing companies: Marx Brush, Milwaukee Dustless Brush, JEK, Redtree Industries, Brush Supply, StaticFaction, J. B. Ward, Kirschner Brush, Easy Reach Supply, Spectrum Paint Applicators, Parker Brush and Justman Brush, says Ken Rakusin, president of Gordon Brush. “The Michigan Brush and Dorden acquisitions dramatically enhance our scale, product offerings, and geographic reach – creating new synergies that better position us for future growth and investment in new and existing markets. As the demand for American-made products increases, we are proud to be at the forefront of that movement.”
