Domestically Produced: Twisted Wire Cosmetic Brushes Made in the USA
Sanderson MacLeod made the decision early on to manufacture only for OEM customers. This allows us to develop strong partnerships with customers, keep costs down, and invest in people, equipment, and technology to continually improve operations in terms of speed, quality, reliability, cost savings, and engineering design. All of our design, manufacturing, and distribution happens at our plant in Palmer, Massachusetts. The driving factor for maintaining all production and operations in the United States is that we can meet exacting standards and manufacture the highest-quality twisted wire brushes on the market.
The Inventor of the Twisted Wire Mascara Brush
In 1959, Sanderson MacLeod designed and produced the first twisted wire mascara brush. Before brushes were used to apply mascara, a variety of other tools served the purpose, including machine screws. When a makeup artist had the idea to use a brush to apply mascara, Sanderson MacLeod was called upon. From those simple beginnings, the mascara brush was invented.
Since then, Sanderson MacLeod’s cosmetic brushes have been in the spotlight of design innovation. By leveraging the latest in design and manufacturing methodologies, our company has maintained its position as a world leader in cosmetic brush production.
