A Legacy Engineered. A Future in Motion.

Today marks a milestone at Sanderson MacLeod—the first day in over 41 years without Chris Breyare designing, refining, and pushing the boundaries of what’s technically possible. It’s also the first day of his well-earned retirement.

Chris wasn’t just part of the team—he was a driving force behind the innovation that shaped our processes, optimized our tools, and elevated our standards. Here, Chris bookends his career by standing next to the Company’s very first automated twisting machine, which he helped install.

Through decades of hands-on problem-solving and improvement, he helped lay the foundation on which we continue to build today. Because of his impact, this isn’t just a farewell—it’s the beginning of a new era. One powered by his legacy, and carried forward by those he’s inspired to think smarter, move faster, and reach further.

It’s been an honor to work alongside Chris. Now, we take what he taught us—and keep forging ahead.

Sanderson MacLeod Wins Super 60 Awards for Both Growth and Revenue

Palmer, MA, USA — Sanderson MacLeod, the large volume twisted wire brush manufacturer, has won the Super 60 Award in both the Growth and Revenue categories from the Affiliated Chambers of Commerce of Greater Springfield in Massachusetts.

The award is presented annually to the top businesses in the area which continue to make significant contributions to the strength of the regional economy. Sanderson MacLeod has played a significant role in the overall economic climate of the region and will be recognized at the Super 60 Luncheon and Recognition Program on November 10th, 2022.

“Our entire operation is based right here in Palmer, Massachusetts,” said Mark N. Borsari, CEO and President of Sanderson MacLeod.  “Even though we are shipping our products all over the world, we are engineering and manufacturing all of our twisted wire brushes and a lot of our own equipment right here. We have an incredibly talented and dedicated work force that we’re committed to growing organically in our region.”

“We’ve been hiring locally since our doors opened in 1958,” continued Borsari. “This practice has been good for business and good for our regional economy. We’re extremely appreciative to be recognized for both our recent growth and overall revenue.”

Sanderson MacLeod is the only brush manufacturer that specializes solely in twisted wire brushes, and for more than 50 years has been the source of twisted wire brushes for some of the largest companies in the world. The company has a long history of innovation, including the distinction of inventing the first twisted wire mascara brush in 1958. Sanderson MacLeod employs approximately 100 people in a state-of-the-art, 137,000 square foot facility in Palmer, Massachusetts and utilizes a modern, FDA compliant Quality Control Laboratory to ensure product quality.
