Brushes for Sneakers & More

Brushing is back! Frank Bürsten GmbH is making waves with its efficiently produced shoe brushes – and not just on polished floors. These high-quality brushes are increasingly finding their way into the sneaker market. Frank Bürsten manufactures for well-known brands such as Snipes, Lacoste, and Adidas, relying on modern technology combined with Black Forest athletic spirit. “The trend toward white sneakers practically demands a brush,” says Marketing Director Katharina Hackner with a wink. Riding this wave, Frank Bürsten now produces efficient sneaker brushes for many top brands. The brush factory not only focuses on modern manufacturing but also on sustainability. For many years, the company at Tunauer Straße has used renewable energy sources such as hydropower and photovoltaics. For the past five years, it has also been feeding heat generated from wood shavings into the local district heating network in Schönau. “When you grow up as an entrepreneur in the Black Forest, nature and climate protection are naturally close to your heart. We’ve been producing CO₂-neutral for years!” explains Managing Director Stefan Ganzmann.
With around 45 employees, Frank Bürsten manufactures approximately 8 million brushes per year.
