Brady Company
Historical data
In 1914 the company was founded by William H. Brady in Eau Claire in the US state of Wisconsin under the name WH Brady Co. and began producing and selling calendars, sales stands and street signs . In the 1940s, WH Brady Co. developed pre-printed self-adhesive cable markers that adhere to aggressive environments and withstand extreme temperature fluctuations. From now on, these cable markers are mainly used in ships and airplanes. In 1945 the patent for an adhesive label dispenser was applied for.
In the 1950s, WH Brady Co. entered international sales with new operations and partnerships in Canada, Mexico and Great Britain. This was followed by expansions in Europe in the 1960s. Brady opened operations in Belgium, Sweden and Germany by the late 1970s and branches in Asia, Australia, Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore were established in the 1980s. From 1990 Brady also started operations in Brazil, China, Malaysia, the Philippines, South Korea and Taiwan. At the same time, a label software was developed that customers can use to create labels themselves and print them on site as required. In 1998 the company was renamed Brady Corporation . Due to high losses in Asia and Europe in the quarter of 2012, the Brady Corporation decided to either merge locations or sell them on the grounds that they wanted to focus more on their core business again. Among other things, the Etimark location (Division of Brady) based in Bad Nauheim was sold to a private investor. Today the business is only called Etimark . The site in Syke was also sold to an investor. The Egelsbach location will remain the headquarters of Brady Germany.
