Forging a Legacy: How BrandNew Industries Has Built Brands Since 1920

In an age of startups and fleeting trends, true longevity is the ultimate mark of success. Today, we celebrate a milestone that speaks volumes about dedication and durability: BrandNew Industries, Inc. has a history reaching back to at least 1920*. That’s over a century of American manufacturing, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to quality.

But BrandNew Industries isn't just surviving on its history—it’s taking that century of hard-earned experience and building tools that leave a permanent mark, quite literally.

 

The Foundation: Durability Forged in History

 

Our history begins with the Everhot Manufacturing Company, which was headquartered in Maywood, Illinois. When Everhot first opened its doors around 1920, the world was entering a decade of dramatic change. To endure from the Roaring Twenties, through the challenges of the Great Depression and two World Wars, and into the digital age, requires more than just luck—it demands a foundational pledge to build things that last.

Carrying this dedication forward, BrandNew Industries acquired Everhot's operations in 2002, creating our Everhot Division. That is the legacy we maintain today: a belief that quality, integrity, and operational excellence are the only path to enduring success.


The Craft: Making Legacies, One Brand at a Time

 

Our century of manufacturing experience is directly machined into every product we create today: custom electric and flame-heated branding irons.

At BrandNew Industries, we understand that a brand is more than just a logo—it’s a promise of quality. That’s why we take absolute control over the manufacturing process:

  • Precision and Power: All our branding irons are machined in-house in the United States. This ensures maximum precision, allowing us to build tools that deliver consistent heat and the cleanest, most professional impressions possible.

  • Built to Last: Just like our company, our tools are built for long-lasting durability, surviving years of heavy use in any environment.

  • Total Customization: We don't just sell standard models. We build the exact tool for your job, accommodating any logo or design you can imagine.

From the delicacy required to mark citrus zest for a fine cocktail, to the industrial power needed for pallets and wood projects, or the artisanal touch for leather goods and burger buns—we build the perfect Electric & Flame-Heated Models to brand your unique legacy.
