Gordon Brush Letter to Zahoransky

Following the December announcement that Zahoransky would no longer exhibit at Interbrush, Ken Rakusin, president and CEO of Gordon Brush, shared a letter he sent to Ulrich Zahoransky and Robert Dous of Zahoransky on January 19, 2022. At last week’s ABMA Convention, Rakusin granted permission for Brushware to publish the full letter:

I find it quite offensive that Zahoransky has chosen to basically leave the brush industry behind and ignore the significant benefits gained by brush manufacturers and suppliers worldwide at Interbrush. I’ll use my personal experience over my 32 years in the business as an example.

ZAHORANSKY Will No Longer Exhibit at Interbrush

ZAHORANSKY has been an exhibitor at the Interbrush (formerly Interbrossa) in the Freiburg exhibition halls since its start in 1977. After careful consideration, however, we have now come to the conclusion, which was not an easy one, that the industry trade fair no longer meets the requirements of our company and the current market conditions. We will, therefore, no longer participate as an exhibitor at the upcoming Interbrush 2024 or any following ones.

Our decision is based on the following reasons:
