What Brausse Group does
Brausse Group North America is an industrial equipment dealer and service provider specializing in die cutting and folder/gluer machinery for the folding carton and corrugated packaging industries. Founded in 1983 and headquartered in Richmond, British Columbia, the company holds exclusive North American distribution rights for the ETERNA and ETERNA ELITE product lines manufactured by BOBST Group, following the 2020 discontinuation of its own BRAUSSE-branded equipment line.
The company's product portfolio centers on ETERNA-branded equipment organized into folding carton solutions (ECUT flatbed die cutters with speeds up to 8,000 cycles/hour, EFOLD folder/gluers) and corrugated solutions (ECUT automatic and semi-automatic die cutters up to 6,000/hour, EFOLD specialty folder gluers for corrugated boxes, EFOIL foil stamping with Advanced Foil Control System, and E-LINE integrated system automation). The underlying technology is sourced from BOBST Group and positioned in the mid-market tier. The company operates from two locations—Richmond, BC (North America Operations Headquarters) and St. Louis Park, MN (Northern Division serving the U.S. market)—supported by factory-trained technicians.
Brausse generates revenue through one-time equipment sales (capital machinery) supplemented by recurring parts supply, warranty services, installation, and ongoing customer support. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting folding carton and corrugated packaging manufacturers across North America. The company claims over 30 years of industry experience and emphasizes customer service orientation, logistics support, and training as differentiators. Industry associations include IADD, FSEA, and AICC memberships.
