Mill-Rose Inducted into Western Reserve Historical Society’s Hundred Year Club

The Mill-Rose Company, the largest U.S. manufacturer of twisted-wire brushes, was recently inducted into the Western Reserve Historical Society’s Hundred Year Club, Cleveland’s oldest existing cultural institution dedicated to preserving the history of Cleveland and the Western Reserve, which represents the northeast Ohio area.

Mill-Rose President Greg Miller accepted the prestigious award, presented by Glenn Anderson, of the Western Reserve Historical Society, on behalf of The MillRose Company. A family affair, Miller was accompanied by his wife and three daughters, along with sisters, nieces and nephews. MillRose remains a family-owned organization, now in its fourth generation of management.

The induction ceremony recognized MillRose for its 100+ year history of serving the area known as the Western Reserve which encompasses 3.3 million acres in northeastern Ohio. The Mill-Rose legacy kicked off in 1919 when Victor H. Miller accepted a contract from a Cleveland manufacturer to make percolator brushes. From this modest beginning, the company grew and is now the leading manufacturer of twisted-wire brushes used in virtually every industry. The company is capable of manufacturing brushes as tiny as .014 inches in diameter up to 18-inch wire wheel brushes. Customers can choose from thousands of standard and not-sostandard sizes and shapes of brushes that deburr, polish, finish, sort, auger, conduct, dissipate, collect, move and protect materials.

“It’s important that we, as a company, continue to do what has made us successful over the past 100 years. Our company-wide philosophy has always been ‘The customer is king.’ Embracing and working with customers has always led to success for The Mill-Rose Company,” says Miller.

Today, Mill-Rose has more than 200,000 square feet of production space with facilities in Ohio, Texas and Mexico, and the company is expanding its Mentor facility to create a 105,000-square-foot distribution center.

“Our growth and success are a direct result of the skilled residents of Northeast Ohio, plus Texas and Mexico, who have worked with us over the years,” says Miller. “We take great pride in our workforce and history of serving satisfied customers.”
