Brush Research is a privately owned company located in Los Angeles, California. They have been in the business of solving difficult finishing problems with brushing technology since 1958.

BRM was one of the first companies to advocate the critical need for finer surface finishes to optimize performance. Concepts such as plateau finishing were pioneered by the founder, Steve Rands, and are now commonplace goals across many industries.

The Flex-Hone® tool is the premium standard that all surface finishing tools are compared against. No other tool can as easily, quickly, and affordably create the microstructure finish necessary for maximum performance and life of your products. All of the tools manufactured by BRM are still made in the U.S.A. BRM has over 150 employees in Los Angeles, and provide product for hundreds of distributors across the country. BRM Flex-Hone® and industrial brushes are exported to over 50 countries around the world. Brush Research believes in creating the best. That goes for the products and services.
