Brentwood Industries

What Brentwood Industries does

Brentwood Industries is a US-based custom plastics manufacturer founded in 1965 and headquartered in Reading, Pennsylvania. The company applies thermoforming and injection molding to produce proprietary equipment systems and components across seven industrial verticals: water and wastewater treatment (Polychem® clarifier components, TUBEdek® tube settlers, AccuFAS® biological treatment, SedVac® sediment removal, SmartGuard® collector monitoring), cooling towers (film fills, drift eliminators, splash fills), mass transfer (MASSdek® structured packings, mist eliminators), stormwater management (StormTank® underground storage modules, EnviroPod™ LittaTrap™ filters), medical packaging (thermoformed clamshells and trays, injection-molded diagnostic housings), building and construction (AccuVent® attic ventilation, wheelbarrows), and industrial batteries (Koroseal® perforated plate wrap). Brentwood operates from seven countries, employs hundreds of staff globally, and distributes products to all 50 US states and nearly 100 countries. The company monetizes through B2B hardware sales using custom quote-based pricing rather than published list rates. Distribution is executed through independent sales representatives and distributors, supported by an exclusive MyBrentwood partner portal (drawings, documents, interactive tools) and a multilingual website in English, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Hindi, and Thai. Marketing relies on a learning-center blog, expert webinars, and trade PR, with a dedicated Custom Solutions division accepting non-standard thermoforming and injection-molding work. Brentwood Industries, Inc. is privately held, family/owner-aligned (President and CEO/Owner Palle Rye, EVP/General Manager Carl Staples, VP Water Technology Mike Whittemore), with no disclosed institutional or PE ownership, no public listing, no subsidiaries, and no recent M&A, restructuring, or leadership-change signals in the supplied data.
