What Koti Industrieel En Technisch Borstelwerk B.v. does

KOTI Industrieel en Technisch Borstelwerk B.V. is a Netherlands-based, family-owned industrial brush manufacturer founded in 1966 in Weert, Limburg. The company produces more than 25 distinct brush product lines organized into five categories: industrial and technical brushes (antistatic, roller, disc, strip, spiral), strip and sealing brushes, sweeping and weed-control brushes, airport runway brushes, and tool/work brushes. Manufacturing is performed in-house at the Weert facility using computer-controlled machinery spanning design, assembly, and quality control, which the company uses to argue for short supply chains and reliable delivery. A dedicated refurbishment service allows customers to send worn brushes back for inspection, core-reuse assessment, and refilling with new fibers.

The KOTI Group has expanded across Europe through a series of acquisitions over five decades, assembling wholly-owned subsidiaries in Belgium (KOTI-NABO, 1972), Germany (KULLEN-KOTI, est. 1913), France (KOTI-Tribollet, 2003), the United Kingdom (KOTI-Dawson, 2005), Austria (KOTI-Kobra, 2007), and Sweden (KOTI-Nordhs, 2020). Each subsidiary operates as a regional brand under the group umbrella while contributing technical brush, deburring tool, or industrial maintenance capabilities. The group holds ISO 9001:2015 quality certification across all main subsidiaries (one of the first brush manufacturers certified, in 1993) and ISO 14001:2015 environmental certification at the Dutch parent.

KOTI operates a B2B direct-sales go-to-market model in which technical advisors conduct on-site process consultations, recommend brush configurations, and develop fully custom solutions for OEM and industrial customers. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time sales of custom-manufactured brush products with quote-based pricing dependent on specifications, materials, and order volume. End markets span municipal services (street sweeping, weed control), food and agriculture (washing, peeling, polishing), metal and manufacturing (deburring, surface treatment), aviation (runway cleaning), sheet metal working, glass/ceramics, and environmental services (solar panel cleaning, recycling). Marketing channels include major international trade fairs (IFAT, EuroBLECH, Fruit Logistica, Maintenance, TechniShow), a multi-language website, LinkedIn and Instagram presence, newsletters, and practical toolbox training sessions. Recent product launches include biodegradable PLA fiber brushes (2025), a brush roller refurbishment service (2025), and a sustainable modular segment sweeping brush debuted at IFAT Munich 2026.

Direct peers

• Weiler Corporation: US-based manufacturer of power brushes, maintenance brushes, and abrasive products for industrial cleaning, surface preparation, and deburring. Closely comparable to KOTI's tool brush, disc brush, and cup brush categories.
• Tanis Group (Tanis Brush): Swiss-based industrial brush manufacturer producing roller, strip, and disc brushes for surface finishing, food processing, and conveyor cleaning. Highly comparable product portfolio and B2B industrial sales model to KOTI.
• Schuller GmbH: Austrian industrial brush manufacturer producing technical brushes, sweeping brushes, and custom brush solutions. Comparable to KOTI-KOBRA and overlapping with KOTI's central European footprint across similar B2B verticals.
• Lessmann GmbH: German manufacturer of industrial and technical brushes for surface treatment, deburring, and finishing. Competes directly with KOTI in the DACH region across similar product categories and customer verticals (metalworking, manufacturing).
• Osborn International: Global manufacturer of industrial brushes, polishing tools, and surface-finishing solutions serving metalworking, manufacturing, and maintenance. Direct competitor to KOTI's disc, roller, and cup brush lines across overlapping customer verticals worldwide.

Regional players

• KULLEN-KOTI GmbH: German technical brush and deburring-machine manufacturer (founded 1913), now a wholly-owned KOTI Group subsidiary. Operates as a regional brand in Germany but historically was an independent competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Walter Surface Technologies: Global surface-finishing and material-conditioning company offering industrial brushes, abrasives, and welding solutions. Overlaps with KOTI's deburring and surface-treatment brush lines but operates as a broader portfolio player, not a brush specialist.
• Saint-Gobain (Norton Abrasives): Global industrial conglomerate whose Norton abrasives division includes industrial brushes and surface-conditioning products. Competes with KOTI in metalworking and manufacturing end markets but as part of a much broader product portfolio.
