MACHINES

BLACK BROS. MACHINES STAND THE TEST OF TIME AND PROVIDE THE ULTIMATE ROI.

At Black Bros. we’ve been providing people like you with high quality, durable machines for over 134 years…

We invented the molding sander in 1889, the veneer taping machine in 1910, the clamp holding machine in 1919, and the 22D glue spreader in 1937. We exported our machines to rebuild Asia and Europe in 1948, made the first panel-cleaning machine in 1961, created the first customer service laboratory in 1963, the first Laminate Indexing Station in 1998, and the first Panel Express heat-assisted rotary laminator in 2002. Today, Black Bros. continues to innovate and push the boundaries of its capabilities with continuous advances in technology and automation.     

What does that mean to you?
Experience. You get more of it with Black Bros. than anyone else.    

We do have an array of beautiful, competitive machines. But it’s our decades of machine research and understanding, backed by more first-hand industry knowledge than any other company that can move your production to the next level.

To prove it, we invite you to visit our state-of-the-art laboratory. Arrange an appointment, bring your products and we’ll help you perfect your process, and maybe discover new ones.

What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
