In 1917, Everett and Milton Carpenter formed Foundrymens Supply Company. The brothers both enlisted in the First World War the following year. In 1919, after their return, the company incorporated and became Carpenter Brothers, Inc.
The two Carpenter brothers maintained their company during the Depression years by selling natural bonded Wisconsin molding sand to area foundries. This was when foundry sand was mined with a pick and hand shoveled into horse drawn carts. Milton Carpenter died in 1942 and his brother, Everett, became President. The company increased the number of producing companies it represented and expanded its sales territory. Everett's son, John, joined the company in 1963, after working at foundries on the east coast. Upon Bradley Booth's retirement in 1979, John succeeded him as President of Carpenter Brothers, Inc. Today, the company's headquarters is still located in Milwaukee, with branch offices in Minneapolis, Minnesota; Muskegon, Michigan; Kokomo, Indiana; Dayton, Ohio; St. Louis, Missouri; Detroit, Michigan and Homer, Michigan. Twenty-one outside salespeople, calling on foundries in a 19 state area, handle sales coverage. Warehouse locations and additional bulk transfer facilities in this area allow the company to provide just-in-time and immediate delivery service, resulting in continued growth and success. One of the keys to success at Carpenter Brothers, Inc. is the skilled technical engineering staff who serve our customers. Each location also has a full support customer service department and a sales staff that is ready to help with your needs. Carpenter Brothers, Inc. is a dealer for full line manufacturer of industrial supplies and equipment. Though foundry supplies and equipment have been and still make up the majority of products and sales, diversification has included products and services for the die casting, environmental, blast cleaning and surface finishing industries.
