Brother Sewing Embroidery & Quilting Machines

The root of the Brother Group dates back to 1908, when Kanekichi Yasui started a repair Business for sewing machines. His business was succeeded by his son, Masayoshi Yasui, who had a great ambition to manufacture sewing machines that would surpass all machines manufactured outside Japan and “develop the import-based industry into the export-based industry.” At that time, almost all the sewing machines were foreign-made. As a foothold toward manufacturing home sewing machines in Japan, he started manufacturing a chain stitch sewing machine for producing straw hats, which he had been familiar with through his repair experience. Following this, his younger brother Jitsuichi Yasui succeeded in developing a shuttle hook, the most vital component of sewing machines. Supported by this success, the Brother’s first sewing machine was produced in 1932. The brothers worked to realize this ambitious dream be even manufacturing the machinery required for the production of the sewing machines themselves. This spirit of “independent development” was succeeded as the DNA of Brother.

The Story of Brother. Brother Industries began manufacturing sewing machines Nagoya, Japan, in 1928 and took its present corporate form in 1934 as a multinational, diversified sales, distribution, engineering, and manufacturing company. The U.S. corporate headquarters--Brother International Corporation (BIC)--located in Bridgewater, New Jersey, was established in 1954. BIC markets many business, home, and industrial products manufactured by its parent company Brother Industries, Ltd. (BIL), of Nagoya, Japan, and other Brother affiliate companies worldwide. Currently, BIC and its subsidiaries employ more than 1,000 people in the Americas. Since the company's inception over half a century ago, every product it has brought to market has always been backed by its legendary "at your side" level of support and service. The company's products are focused on enriching customers' quality of life as well as their capabilities. This concept, called "workstyle innovation," represents a quantum leap in the user experience. It enhances users' workstyle and, through that, their lifestyle. More importantly, workstyle innovation is designed to "work" with all kinds of environments, from the home to the office. Just consider it Brother's way of saying "thank you" for allowing it to be at your side.
