The Fuller Brush Company, founded in Hartford, CT in 1906 by Alfred C. Fuller, originated the door-to-door method of direct selling, paving the way for the legendary 'Fuller Brush Man' to present in-home demonstrations of quality brushes, brooms, and household cleaning products to customers in small towns and cities all across America. The "Fuller Brush Men and Women" became American icons still fondly remembered by millions of Americans.
The company manufactures more than 2,500 different products including household and commercial cleaning chemicals, brushes, brooms, mops, and personal care products, and holds more than 300 trademarks. Since 1972, Fuller Brush has been headquartered in Great Bend, KS in a 500,000 square foot manufacturing and distribution facility.
Brady Gros, Fuller's Chief Operating Officer commented, "We are pleased each year to hold this picnic to recognize and reward our hard-working employees and are especially honored this year to celebrate the company's 100th anniversary along with such esteemed guests as Senator Teichman, Mayor Allison and others. We look forward to the continued growth we have enjoyed and to many more years of successful and profitable operation."
Dennis Brinly, Chief Marketing Officer for The Fuller Brush Company, said, "Given Fuller's humble beginnings, with household cleaning products being sold and delivered door-to-door by horse and wagon, we are excited to continue its legacy by continuing to offer these quality Fuller Brush products in more ways than ever before. Our products are now available not only through our independent distributor force, but also on the Internet, via television home shopping, through a variety of catalog partners, and in factory outlet and retail stores. Our business continues to evolve and we will strive for sustained growth by making new and innovative products in the heartland of America.
