Today
A Big Move

Bruske Products started as a dream.

At its heart, Bruske Products is truly a "mom and pop" business, having started in the back of a small shop by a couple of "kids" from the north side.  With a background in sales with the Fuller Brush Company, Ed Bruske saw the need for brooms and brushes that were made to stand the test of time under extreme conditions - and there begins the story of Bruske Products and the Indestructible Bruske Brush.
