1950-1967
Dimitrios Theos with the help of his son Theodosios Theos founded our company by manufacturing handmade brushes and paintbrushes on the ground floor of their home, in the form of a family cottage industry. The raw materials at the beginning were of animal and vegetable origin, the brush bases were mainly made of wood and the processing was done by hand. The initial manufacturing rate did not exceed 30 brushes per day. In 1964, the brush and paintbrush distribution store was inaugurated in the Vardari area of Thessaloniki. In 1965, the first manual machine was purchased, second-hand from Germany (manufactured in 1932), which doubled production. At the same time, the manufacturing of industrial and technical brushes of special construction began.
1968-1985
In 1968, the factory was built in the Lagyna area of Thessaloniki, which was equipped with additional wood processing machines. In 1969, the factory employed 22 people, providing employment to most of the young people in the area, while many tasks were still done manually. In 1970, the first semi-automatic machine was purchased, which increased production to 100 brushes per day. Gradually, the import of plastic bristles from Germany began. In 1972, the first commercial vehicle was purchased, with which Theodosios Theos distributed all the products from Thessaly to Evros.
1986-2026
In 1986, Dimitrios Theos, son of Theodosios, joined the company. Shortly afterwards, he completed his studies as an Electrical Engineer at the Technical University of Thessaloniki and actively contributed to the development, automation and modernization of the company. In 1988, the company invested in the first fully automatic brush manufacturing machine, which allowed the production of an average of 200 brushes per day and enabled it to meet increased demands in the industrial sector. In 1997, production was vertically integrated with the investment in a plastic press (Injection Moulding Machine). In 2004, a fully automated robotic machine for industrial brushes was purchased, one of the most modern of its time. In 2007, a double robotic machine for the manufacture of brushes and brooms was added. In 2022, with the aim of improving the quality of plastic parts, a second modern plastic production machine is acquired, which allows the molding of larger objects.
In 2025, a significant investment is made with the purchase of the fourth fully developed robotic machine, which significantly increases production, while maintaining the highest possible quality.
ABOUT US
Who we are
NORTHERN GREEK BRUSH MANUFACTURING COMPANY has been active since 1950 in the manufacture of industrial and technical brushes. Starting as a family unit of handmade production, it evolved through continuous investments and technological modernization into a modern production unit. The many years of experience of three generations have shaped a company with deep knowledge of industrial applications and the real requirements of production. With thousands of constructions and collaborations in Greece and abroad, we have the know-how to propose functional and reliable solutions. Our production is carried out entirely in Greece, with control at every stage of the process and a constant commitment to quality and consistency.
What we do
We manufacture industrial and technical brushes, brooms and specialized products for professional applications, fully adapted to the needs of each machine and each use.
Our main categories include:
in a wide variety of dimensions and materials.
Our solutions are applied in fruit and vegetable sorters, ginners, glass industry, carpet washers, flour mills, food industries and many more demanding applications. We use high-quality natural and synthetic fibers, with certifications where required. Each brush is designed based on specific technical data, aiming for consistent performance and long service life.
How we do it
The manufacture of our brushes is based on specific technical specifications and actual operating data. Each product is designed according to the dimensions, machine type and application requirements, so that it can be smoothly integrated into the production line and perform consistently. Production is vertically integrated, with proprietary plastic base molding and modern high-precision mechanical equipment. Controlled processes are applied at each stage, ensuring manufacturing accuracy, mechanical strength and stable performance in demanding operating conditions. With immediate availability of materials and flexibility in production, we respond to special requirements without delays. We design products that operate stably, reduce maintenance needs and ensure long-term reliability in the production environment.
Our philosophy
Our philosophy is based on consistency, technical precision and long-term cooperation. We design and manufacture brushes with functionality, durability and the real demands of professional use in mind. Each product is the result of experience, know-how and careful selection of materials, aiming for consistent performance and durability over time. Our aim is to offer solutions that are essentially integrated into the production process and contribute to its overall reliability. For us, quality is not just a product characteristic, but a firm commitment to our partners.
