A RICH PROUD AMERICAN TRADITION
On a cold, crisp winter day...New Year's 1906...a 21-year-old entrepreneur from Nova Scotia, Alfred C. Fuller, began an enterprise which has become known worldwide as The Fuller Brush Company. From a bench between the furnace and the coal bin in his sister's Massachusetts home, young Fuller set out to make, in his own words:
"...the best products of their kind in the world.”
Mr. Fuller quickly moved out of his sister's home to set up shop in Hartford, CT where they stayed until 1973. Through the years, The Fuller Brush Company has grown from one man's fiber suitcase, filled with unique custom-made brushes, to an exciting collection of home and business care, car care, and personal care products, all crafted with the same quality and precision that have made The Fuller Brush Company a name welcomed everywhere.
From the beginning Fuller established three basic rules:
Make it work!
Make it last!
Guarantee it no matter what!
Today, a century later, these words still guide The Fuller Brush Company.
A SLEEPING GIANT BEGINS TO AWAKE
Fuller's 500,000 square foot plant was completed in 1973, and today Fuller remains the major employer in the Barton County, Kansas area. After a couple ownership changes, in 1994 CPAC Inc of NY bought the Fuller Brush Company and has increased productivity by increasing manufacturing in the much under-utilized plant with an ever-expanding product line. They also purchased Stanley Home Products and manufacture most of those products now. And Fuller has even expanded their facilities by another 100,000 square feet. Fuller Brush has run profitably ever since CPAC took over. Fuller's Research & Development team is constantly coming up with new specialty cleaning products.
The Fuller Brush Company's Sales Force continues to grow and to answer the need for unique quality products and personal service. One salesman's utilitarian idea, acted upon at the beginning of the 20th century, has become the livelihood for thousands of dedicated men and women who are leading Fuller Brush into the 21st century.
1992 and 1993 saw Fuller's direct sales force transformed into a modern network marketing independent distributor force. Territories were eliminated and distributors can now sell nationwide using the "Fuller Direct" mailorder system set up for them, or the web to all of the U.S.A via the company provided "Fuller Direct" websites, and they can recruit other people as new distributors anywhere in the country, as "word of mouth sales" takes on new meaning with distributorships also becoming a product. Distributor kit prices are kept extremely low to encourage more new distributors to join, so over-ride commissions are paid only on actual subsequent product sales. Fuller's modern Fuller Gold program eliminates the middleman syndrome with every distributor ordering directly from the Company and commission checks are also processed directly by the Company.
Entering the Twenty-first Century, the modern and flexible manufacturing facility in Great Bend, Kansas, continues a tradition of excellence by producing the world-famous quality products associated with The Fuller Brush Company. State-of-the-art automated equipment is mixed with many operations completed entirely and lovingly by skilled hands, so customers receive value without sacrificing beauty.
