How Our Machines Are Constructed

A Brim machine is designed to take a pounding, but is also simple to maintain and repair. It is built with heavy duty steel material, along with high-tech components, and is welded and inspected by experienced in-house personnel for quality assurance. In short, a Brim machine is made to deliver long lasting performance and durability to meet the demands of your operation.

Where They’re Made

All our products are manufactured in an efficient 250,000 square-foot plant that is centrally located in the U.S. A flow through production line is set up for smooth material handling and machine assembly in a bright and comfortable environment for our well trained staff.

What our customers say

“The first time I had a chance to see a 450 LB Brim in service, I knew within 5 minutes that we would be using this machine. The washer looked like it was built by a maintenance engineer with years of experience, not by someone sitting at a drafting table. We now have 25 Brim units that include 450s, 675s, Shuttles, Dryers, and No regrets! Brim has continued to improve the hardware and software during the 10+ years we have been working together, and their team has been there supporting us the whole way. I’d say their slogan says it all, “Solid Machinery, Powerful Support”.  ”

Greg Huene, Clean Uniform, St. Louis, MO
“We bought our first Brim washer-extractor about 8 years ago, and soon after bought a Brim dryer. We now have several of both. Their equipment is sturdy, reliable, and easy to work on. Brim’s support, including equipment/parts knowledge, pricing, and response time is excellent. The dependability of both the company and the equipment they manufacture has helped to limit down time and lower our maintenance costs.”

Gary Jackson, White Way Laundry, Inc. Wallingford, CT
“CLS has been operating Brim washers and dryers since 1999. We have purchased new, and also utilized the Brim refurbishing program many times. Our experience with Brim washers and dryers has been very good, with great support from the top on down at Brim.”

Ron Vander Meer CEO Owner – Continental Linen Service, Kalamazoo, MI
“Mission Linen Supply has done business with the Brim family for over 40 years, and we will continue to work with them because they have earned our trust. We provide linen and uniform services all over the western U.S., and many of our plants operate and depend on Brim washer/extractors and dryers each day. Quality equipment and people who stand behind what they sell. That’s been our relationship with Brim for decades.”

Ismael Castro Engineering Director – Mission Linen Supply, Santa Barbara, CA
“I don’t know much about our Brim. Other than regular maintenance, I never have an excuse to work on it. I wouldn’t consider any other open pocket washer, nor would my owners. Powerful ROI and reliability.”

Lee Baldauf Maintenance Manager – Superior Linen Service, Tacoma, WA
“Topper Linen and Uniform is a customer of Brim’s, purchasing our dryer line. What intrigued me to purchase this equipment was the thought process for the mechanic who maintains our machinery. After years of repairing others competitors machines, Brim has thought of the guy with a grease gun, who we all have. They provide equipment with simplicity of design, but structurally sound, and laundry “tuff”. Don’t be fooled by a fast talking salesman who doesn’t know a screw driver from a hammer. Talk to Mark Brim, who will walk you through his design process as to “why” he manufactures efficient “tuff” laundry equipment.”

Tim Topornicki President – Topper Linen and Uniform, Toronto, ON
