Mill-Rose Inducted into Western Reserve Historical Society’s Hundred Year Club
The Mill-Rose Company, the largest U.S. manufacturer of twisted-wire brushes, was recently inducted in the Western Reserve Historical Society’s Hundred Year Club, Cleveland’s oldest existing cultural institution dedicated to preserving the history of Cleveland, and the Western Reserve, which represents the northeast Ohio area.
Mr. Greg Miller accepted the prestigious award, presented by Glenn Anderson of the Western Reserve Historical Society, on behalf of The Mill-Rose Company. Mr. Miller was accompanied by his wife and three daughters, along with sisters, nieces and nephews as it was a family affair. Mill-Rose remains a family-owned organization, now in its fourth generation of management.
The induction was recently held where Mill-Rose was recognized for its 100+ year history of serving the area known as the Western Reserve, encompassing 3.3 million acres in northeastern Ohio.
It all started in 1919 when Victor H. Miller accepted a contract from a Cleveland manufacturer to make percolator brushes, and from this modest beginning, The Mill-Rose Company was to grow and become the leading manufacturer of twisted-wire brushes used in virtually every industry. Mill-Rose is uniquely suited to manufacture brushes as tiny as .014 in diameter up to 18-inch wire wheel brushes. Customers can choose from thousands of standard and not-so-standard sizes and shapes of brushes that debur, polish, finish, sort, auger, conduct, dissipate, collect, move, and protect materials.
“It’s important that we, as a company, continue to do what has made us successful over the past 100 years. Our company-wide philosophy has always been ‘The customer is king.’ Embracing and working with customers has always led to success for The Mill-Rose Company,” said Greg Miller.
Today, Mill-Rose has more than 200,000 square feet of production space with facilities in Ohio, Texas and Mexico, and the company is expanding its Mentor facility to create a 105,000 square foot distribution center. “Our growth and success are a direct result of the skilled residents of Northeast Ohio, plus Texas and Mexico, who have worked with us over the years. We take great pride in our work force and history of serving satisfied customers,” added Miller.
