"Brush Research Mfg. Co. Brush Research is a private, family owned company located in Los Angeles, California. We've been in the business of solving difficult finishing problems with brushing technology since 1958. BRM was one of the first companies to advocate the critical need for finer surface finishes to optimize performance. Concepts such as plateau finishing were pioneered by our founder, Steve Rands, and are now commonplace goals across many industries. "
