Brushware – a bi-monthly publication edited for key personnel in the brush, roller, broom, mop and applicator industry. Published continuously through the years, the one publication that is the spokesman for the brush and allied industries: 1898-1923, called Brooms, Brushes, & Handles; 1924-1947, called Brooms, Brushes, & Mops, 1948-today, called Brushware.

Buyers’ Guide 1.0

W

elcome to the 2019 Brushware Buyers’ Guide and Supplier/Manufacturer Directory. It kicks off on page 20 and ideally you will notice that we have freshened up the design, streamlined the main category titles and provided a consolidated list of categories for each company. The changes are relatively modest, so we hope you will find it to be the same directory you’ve enjoyed over the years with a taste of what is to come, both in print and online.

We are certainly eager to take what we’ve learned and apply it to the next phase of development for the Brushwaremag.com website. In fact, our planning phase is set to begin in July.

That theme fits in nicely with our feature by Meg Cooper on Web Design for 2019 and Beyond. The article includes many key points to consider, but I am reminded of the one lesson I’ve learned relative to websites: they are pretty much like your kitchen – it doesn’t matter when you last remodeled, you are always just a few years away from that next update. Hopefully this piece will give you some new insights and ideas on where to go with your site. We welcome your feedback on successes and challenges you’ve had in managing and building your company websites. Send your feedback to editors@brushwaremag.com.

Keeping with the digital theme, I would like to remind our readers and advertisers that we upgraded the Brushwaremag.com website in April and are now able to post press releases and articles. We invite everyone in our community to submit press releases/announcements, promotions, anniversaries, job postings and anything relevant to the industry. In addition, we now have channels on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, so be sure to check those out as a great way to stay up-to-date on all the latest in the brushware industry.

Unimac s.r.l. Welcomes Davide Ori as New GM

U

nimac s.r.l., a well-known company designing and producing lines for manufacturing metal handles and building machinery and automation to produce power brushes, is proud to introduce its new General Manager, Davide Ori. After the acquisition of Unimac by the Boucherie Borghi Group, this step represents a natural transition, due to Vanes Villani’s retirement. “I am proud to hand over the baton to Davide. I am sure that he will lead Unimac towards a path of growth,” Villani says. “It is the natural course of events to leave space for the new generation.”

Davide Ori has been active for almost 20 years in the plastic extrusion industry, where part of his experience was President of Techno Plastic s.r.l. for five years. He then joined Sima for three and a half years as Director of Sales and Technology.

“I am honored to continue down the path that I have been learning from Mr. Vanes Villani and the other shareholders and partners of Unimac,” Ori says. “I will bring my own experience to the job and look forward to the challenges of the future.”

YOUR BRUSH DESERVES THE BEST FILAMENTS DUPONT FILAMENTS CONTINUES TO LEAD THE WAY IN INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS For more than 70 years, DuPont Filaments has been recognized as a leader in innovative synthetic filaments that enable brush manufacturers to address emerging trends and meet evolving consumer expectations.

HEALTH DESERVES THE BEST FILAMENTS - TOOTHBRUSH FILAMENTS The most important component of a toothbrush lies in the bristle.

With outstanding industry expertise accumulated over the years, coupled with our proven technologies, DuPont Filaments is dedicated to the oral care brush industry with our nylon solutions under the brand names of DuPont™ Tynex®(nylon 612) and DuPont™ Herox®(nylon 610) . Leading toothbrush brands and manufacturers are able to produce very high quality brushes with a balance of consistent quality, wear performance and unmatched productivities in tufting and end-rounding by using DuPont filaments. As consumer trends in toothbrush are increasingly focused on the six major areas of 1) Visual Attractiveness, 2) Interdental Cleaning, 3) Plaque Removal, 4) Gum Comfort, 5) Gingival Cleaning and 6) Anti-microbial within the filaments, DuPont Filaments has been working closely with the leading global brands in oral care as well as toothbrush manufacturers by fulfilling these needs with our broad range of innovative products in the portfolio BEAUTY DESERVES THE BEST FILAMENTS - FINE FILAMENTS DuPont™ Natrafil® filaments, a pioneering filament from DuPont’s unique polyester based material, contain proprietary texturizing additives that create a structured surface that mimics animal hair.

Natrafil® filaments offer a synthetic alternative to animal hair in premium cosmetic powder brushes with more consistency in the bristle while maintaining the touch-and-feel of premium animal hair. Studies have shown that brushes made with Natrafil® filaments have equal to superior pickup and release performance versus brushes made with animal hair.

EFFICIENCY DESERVES THE BEST FILAMENTS – ABRASIVE FILAMENTS Like most industries, steel manufacturers are always looking for

ways to increase productivity. The emphasis is on getting more square feet of metal through the mill, cleaned and coated faster than ever before. To accomplish this, steel mills are using more aggressive cleaning solutions. The problem is that the cleaning brushes typically used were quickly degrading because many plastics used in the brush filaments can’t handle the solutions of the extremes of the PH scale. The technical resources at DuPont Filaments were able to help solve the problem by adding stabilizers to one of our nylon polymer formulations, effectively extending the pH range that these filaments can be used in. Brushes made with these filaments deliver cleaning performance over an improved service life, helping steel manufactures to achieve higher productivity.

Another need voiced by customers is higher aggressiveness in metal finishing applications. DuPont™ Tynex® A filaments, a family of ceramic grit-containing filaments, was developed to meet this need.

CREATIVITY DESERVES THE BEST FILAMENTS – PAINTBRUSH FILAMENTS When manufacturers began changing their paints to water-based formulations, more people began using paintbrushes made with synthetic bristles because the hog bristles traditionally used in paintbrushes lost stiffness in water-based paints. Synthetics such as DuPont™ Tynex®, DuPont™ Chinex® and DuPont™ Orel® brand filaments quickly became popular choices. As paint manufacturers continue to improve their water-based formulations by reducing volatile organic compound (VOC) content, increasing solid loadings and decreasing drying times, there is an ongoing need for increasingly higher performing brushes. To meet this need, DuPont Filaments continues to innovate and help customize solutions. For example, we developed filaments with stiffer cross-section that can push higher viscosity paints more efficiently. We also changed the shapes of the filaments so that they not only pick up more paint from the can for faster application, but are easier to clean.

YOUR BRUSH DESERVES THE BEST FILAMENTS

Recognition for being the global leader in filaments comes from our customers. You inspire us to make a difference in the world. We will continue to advance our innovations because we believe your BRUSH deserves the best FILAMENTS. filaments.dupont.com

T

he Boucherie Borghi Group is pleased to announce that a close partnership has been born thanks to the collaboration that has been ongoing for the past several years with the company CO.B.EM s.r.l., which has resulted in a partial acquisition of the Tuscan company by the Boucherie Borghi Group.

Cobem, based in Larciano, Italy, designs and builds machines for mop production. With more than 30 years of experience in the industry, Cobem is able to meet customer needs by offering a wide range of machines, from manually operated to fully automatic with high hourly productivity, paying particular attention to the components used and the quality of the finished products.

The President of Cobem, Piero Baldacci, states “It is still important for us that our company maintains its identity, based on flexibility and absolute willingness to meet the needs of the customer, in order to continue the road taken and that has brought us to be the current Cobem.”

Borghi Brasil team

Paolo Roversi, President of Borghi S.p.A., says, “We are confident that this new partnership will benefit both companies. Cobem’s skillfulness and experience will enhance our offerings to mop manufacturers, and our sales network will be ready to present the new opportunities the Boucherie Borghi Group offers regarding mop manufacturing technology.”

Glauco Generali, board member of the Boucherie Borghi Group, also added, “Both companies in this partnership will have opportunities for growth. The Boucherie Borghi Group will utilize the skills of the Cobem technicians to offer technical support service also for Borghi mop machines, also storing spare parts at Cobem, hence increasing our service levels for all our mop equipment.”

ABMA Letter to USTR on China Tariffs The American Brush Manufacturers Association submitted a letter to the United States Trade Representative (USTR) on June 4, 2019, outlining the harmful effects of recent tariffs to US manufacturers.

The ABMA letter notes trade war makes US manufacturers less competitive and is forcing them to make difficult choices, such as: • Raise Prices: increasing costs for consumers • Cut Costs: cutting workers, worker pay or new investment • Mitigate Costs: shifting manufacturing overseas losing US jobs • Outsource: give up and buy foreign made goods The entire letter can be viewed on the ABMA.org website at: www.abma.org/upload/ABMAUSTR-2019-0004-0001.pdf.

Hillbrush Managing Director Appointed to ABMA Board Charlie Coward, Managing Director at Hillbrush, the UK’s largest manufacturer of brushes and specialist hygienic cleaning tools, has been voted to the Board of Directors of the American Brush Manufacturing Association (ABMA) at its recent Annual Convention in Nassau, Bahamas.

Coward is the first European to be voted onto the ABMA’s Board and has been a long-standing supporter of the ABMA, following in the footsteps of his father Philip Coward, who has been attending the ABMA annual convention since 2009.

Coward has also been voted to Chair the ABMA’s Safety and Standards Committee. “I am delighted to have been appointed to the ABMA Board and to chair the safety and standards committee,” he says. “Involvement of the ABMA at the highest levels will enable Hillbrush to share our quality health and safety standards – something which we take extremely seriously – as well as giving us the opportunity to learn best practice from industry colleagues that can be adopted at home and abroad.”

SOCIAL CHOICES

TOP SOCIAL PLATFORMS

RANKED BY MONTHLY ACTIVE USERS (IN MILLIONS)

With Brushware launching into the social media arena this past spring on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, it seemed like a good time to update on how the social platform battles are shaping up. All businesses have to weigh carefully the appropriate channels to focus on. These charts provide a view as to who is leading the charge on monthly active users.

With the social arena still relatively fluid, one consideration when absorbing the data is to note which platforms are really messaging apps that are trying to pivot toward or integrate options that have some sort of marketing application. While Instagram is custom-tailored for marketing options as a simple photo feed where ad opportunities seem relatively integrated, Facebook Messenger has a bigger challenge in creating options for marketers.

Website Design For 2019 and Beyond

By Meg Cooper

What does your website look like? Take a minute to pull it up and look at it and then, write down your answers to these questions: 1) Are you on a computer? A tablet? A mobile phone?

2) How fast did your website load? Was it a second? Two? More than five?

3) What is the first thing you notice? Your logo? The colors? A headline? An image?

4) Where is your site menu? Is it easily accessible?

5) Where is your call-to-action (CTA)? Do you have one?

6) Do you have social media channels and are they represented clearly?

Ideally, your answers to these questions should be: 1) Any device—it shouldn’t matter what I’m on, my website looks great!

2) Loaded quickly (in less than two seconds) 3) Logo/business name 4) Yes, at the top of the page 5) Yes, front and center 6) Yes and, finally, yes All these answers boil down to one point—the future of website design weighs heavily on the user experience (UX, for short). You want to have your customers’ experience at the forefront of your website design, and you can do this by thinking of one word: ease.

Ease-of-use for your customers: ease of use on a mobile device, ease of accessibility and ease of conversion. Making your website user-friendly is more than just an easy layout or using stunning graphics. The UX should be a complete package from the front-end of your website, which is what the customer sees, to the back-end of your website, which is the data that you’re collecting to provide users with a comprehensive and personalized UX. Yes, this means you may have to take a few extra steps to provide a UX that converts customers, but your website is your online storefront and it is just as important to make sure your online store is working as best as it possibly can.

Still not convinced? Imagine this scenario.

You’re at a trade show sitting in your booth. Your booth has your logo (front and center on your banner), a few sample products, some informational packets and your best salespeople are right next to you.

Now, break this down and think of it like your website. You wouldn’t want your logo to be small and hard to find in a crowd, would you? You’d want some sample products available to grab the attention of potential customers, so they can learn more about your business through your salespeople. It’s key to engage those who stop by into a deeper conversation

14 | www.brushwaremag.com

www.brushwaremag.com | 15

in hopes of converting them into customers, right? So, you will want to hand out some more information to those potential customers, so they have something to remember you by, and take their contact information so you can have your salespeople follow up.

This is how your website should be functioning, too. Your logo needs to be clear and the branding should reflect succinctly throughout your site—acting as a large banner to draw people in. Your website should show some of your products enough to lure in your customers, which is where a strong call-to-action comes into play. Drawing your customer in with great salespeople at your booth is akin to having a great call-to-action on your website. Your CTA is a way to pull your customer into the interior pages of your website, thus learning more about your business.

Does your website reflect these basic design components? Even though we’re well into 2019, making sure your website meets a certain standard is imperative for UX from both a customer experience and for search engine results. So, how do you bring your website up to current standards? Where do you start?

Make sure your website is user-friendly When you implement a user-friendly approach to your website, you’re ensuring new customers (and return customers) can navigate your website with ease, find what they’re looking for and don’t leave your website frustrated. You want customers to keep coming back to your website so they convert into leads.

Below are some basic guidelines to make sure your website is taking a user-friendly approach, is up-to-date and is running at its best for 2019 and beyond.

Make Your Site Mobile-Friendly Most users these days expect a website to be mobile-friendly. This doesn’t mean that your website should prioritize mobile design over desktop compatibility. What it does mean is you should make your website mobile-responsive. Meaning, your website should transition smoothly from a desktop view to a mobile or tablet view seamlessly.

According to www.stonetemple.com, 58 percent* of global website traffic was generated through mobile devices in 2018. In fact, mobile web usage surpassed desktop views in 2016 and Google (and most

other search engines) now gives preference to websites that are mobile-friendly and regularly keep up with modern user demand.

One great way to test your website to see if it is mobile-responsive is to open up your web browser on a desktop computer, click and drag the window to shrink it and look for the following: • Swipe-able accessibility: Does the menu compact into a hamburger style menu (three horizontal bars)? Is the menu easy to navigate with your thumb? Can you swipe between pages easily? Are the buttons on your website large enough to click?

• Readability: Is the text easy to read on a small screen? Did it adjust to the window size appropriately? Do the titles stand out above the rest of the text? Do the titles line up correctly with the body of the text? Are your internal links easy to find?

You can make your website mobile-friendly without a full redesign, but it will require some code knowledge. The best way to ensure your website is mobile-friendly is to hire a web designer who can help you update your site to mobile-responsive standards.

Simplify Your Menu Having a simple menu layout helps to keep your audience engaged without being overwhelmed. When you’re at the grocery store, do you want to visit several aisles to find cereal or do you want to easily find it in one aisle? The same concept should apply to your website; not having a simplified menu means you risk your customers becoming overwhelmed with options and not knowing where to click. Having too much clutter on your menu (and your home page for that matter) can lead to a high bounce rate (the visitors who enter the site and then leave [“bounce”] rather than continuing to view other pages within the same site). When you minimize your menu options, you are taking into consideration that your customer will be navigating through your website with ease and, therefore, more inclined to get to know your company more. You should also keep in mind that having “quirky” page names (instead of calling your Contact page a Contact page) is also a good way to confuse your customers. Stick with the tried and true page names (About, Bios, Home, Contact, etc.) and you’ll find your customers having a better experience with your website. Look at DuPont’s latest website below. Though it is a rather large company with multiple businesses, the website menu is simple, drawing you in to explore the entire website from just a few menu choices.

The Dupont home page features a simple menu and utilizes the hero image concept. Source: www.dupont.com

Web Design Terms

Website Load Speed

• UX: User Experience – all aspects of the user’s interaction with the website.

Making sure your website loads quickly is a major component for websites. Google gives preference to websites that load quickly and easily, so don’t bog your website down with too much “stuff” or large files.

Keep in mind that too many videos, large images and tons of pages can all factor into how quickly (or slowly) your site will load. The faster the load time, the less chance you have of someone “bouncing” from your website. To check this, you can visit websites that will tell you how long it takes for your website to load (https://tools.pingdom.com/). Using sites, such as the pingdom.com, can be helpful in determining whether or not you should hire a web designer to help you shrink your large files and images into a size that is more compatible with quicker load times.

• Responsive Design: Website approach with a flexible layout that detects the user’s screen size and renders pages that are optimized for the device in use (desktop, laptop, smartphone or tablet).

• Call-to-Action: A marketing technique intended to urge the user (customer) to engage in an activity.

This could be a survey, a PDF download or actual purchase.

• Parallax Scrolling: Generally refers to a website layout where the background images move at a slower rate in relation to the foreground images … creating a “3D” effect.

• Micro-Animation: Short animations intended to visually direct a user through tasks while interacting with a website or digital product.

• Hamburger Menu: Three lines stacked horizontally that indicate a menu that gained popularity with the rise of smartphones and the need to save screen space.

• Hero Image: A large image front and center on the home page of the website intended to capture the visitors attention.

Include Social Media/Networking Links It’s 2019. You need to have social media for your company. If not Facebook, then LinkedIn, if not LinkedIn, then Twitter or Pinterest or Instagram. If you have a social media channel, you need to have the icon(s) on your website. As the millennial generation starts taking over the workforce (and then Generation Z after that), they’re going to be looking for more ways to get to know your company and that is where they are going to look: your social media channels. Social media is a great way to get your company voice established and to create an online reputation that customers can relate to and connect with.

Understanding that these outlets are the virtual versions of “word-ofmouth” marketing is the best way to get started. Add those social media icons to your website and make sure they link up to the appropriate channels. They can be in the header (the top of the page usually where your menu is located), the footer (the bottom of the website) or even the sidebar, but they should be visible somewhere on your website.

Interactive Design Grab customer attention with micro-animation and parallax scrolling, hero images and videos.

I’m not saying you need to add all these items to your website to make it stand out; on the contrary, pick a few that really represent your brand and what you do, and do them well. Micro-animation and parallax scrolling are great ways to make your website seem interactive without bogging down your load time. Hero images are large images that are front and center on your website—they make a statement, are on-brand and add a level of design to your website that gives your company a voice without having to say too much. This kind of interactive design can make the customer feel like they’re on a journey, within your website, that is all about your company. Engaging design within your website makes the experience unique and memorable…and who wouldn’t want to keep coming back to that?

Minimal Design On the flip side, there is the option to do a simple website design, wherein you really scale back the features on your site. Minimal design can help convey a powerful first impression, guiding the customer through your website with simple graphics, punchy text or clean lines. Minimal design also helps when it comes to mobile-responsive design (it looks better on a smaller screen) and website load speed as less “stuff” is cluttering your website, which means faster load time. This approach can also make a great first impression as it is less overwhelming and a strong design can feel more like art. Minimal design is great for those companies that specialize in one or just a few things and don’t have a ton of products that compete with each other.

Though we’re well on our way through 2019, undertaking at least part of these guidelines will set you up for more success with your customers moving forward. Clean design, easy-to-navigate menu and pages as well as readable text can be simple adjustments that make a huge impact and good UX interface. Good UX leads to potential customers returning to your website repeatedly, which increases the chances of you converting them into lifelong customers. And who doesn’t want repeat customers?

- brm Source:

To test for responsive design, use the restore down button in the upper right corner of your browser (just left of the “X”). Then drag the edge of the browser in to shrink the site.

For www.brushwaremag.com, in the above screenshot the middle column moves down in the website flow and the menu changes to a “hamburger” icon at the approximate size for a tablet window. As the browser is sized down to a phone view (left), the right column also pushes down in the flow. Those elements indicate the site is mobileresponsive.

May PMI® of 52.1% Reaches 12-month Low

Eleven of 18 manufacturing industries report growth in May with six reporting contraction The Institute for Supply Management® (ISM®) reported a PMI of 52.1 percent in May, representing its lowest point in 12 months. The ISM® Report On Business® issued on June 3, 2019, noted the May PMI was 0.7 percent off the April number which was down 2.5 percent from March.

“Comments from the panel reflect continued expanding business strength, but at soft levels consistent with the early-2016 expansion. Demand expansion continued, with the New Orders Index strengthening, but remaining in the low 50s, the Customers’ Inventories Index remaining at a ‘too low’ level, and the Backlog of Orders Index contracting for the first time since January 2017,” says Timothy R. Fiore, Chair of the ISM® Manufacturing Business Survey Committee.

Despite the challenges, the report also offered a few positive figures as well: • The New Orders Index registered 52.7 percent, an increase of 1 percentage point from the April reading of 51.7 percent.

• The Production Index registered 51.3 percent, a 1-percentage point decrease compared to the April reading of 52.3 percent.

• The Employment Index registered 53.7 percent, an increase of 1.3 percentage points from the April reading of 52.4 percent.

GROWTH INDUSTRIES Eleven of the 18 manufacturing industries reported growth in May: Printing and Related Support Activities; Furniture & Related Products; Plastics and Rubber Products; Textile Mills; Miscellaneous Manufacturing; Electrical Equipment, Appliances and Components; Computer and Electronic Products; Chemical Products; Food, Beverage and Tobacco Products; Nonmetallic Mineral Products; and Machinery.

CONTRACTION INDUSTRIES Six industries reported contraction in May: Apparel, Leather and Allied Products; Primary Metals; Petroleum and Coal Products; Wood Products; Paper Products; and Fabricated Metal Products.

SURVEY RESPONDER COMMENTS “Ongoing tariffs [issue is] impacting costs and influencing supplier realignment on country of origin. Border issue is causing delays in imports from Mexico.” (Computer & Electronic Products) “The threat of additional tariffs has forced a change in our supply chain strategy; we are shifting business from China to Mexico, which will not increase the number of U.S. jobs.”

(Chemical Products) “Sales continue to decline. Volumes are off, [and] profits haven’t decreased in proportion to sales. Higher-margin vehicles continue strong sales, but low- to mid-range sales are down.” (Transportation Equipment) “Sales remain strong. Labor remains tight. Tariffs are having a significant impact on cost of goods. No impact on where we buy our goods.” (Food, Beverage & Tobacco Products) “Business is continuing to grow and expand. The pressure for driving out costs has increased significantly, and my company is facing major changes over the next several years to remain cost competitive.” (Miscellaneous Manufacturing) “The threat of a 15-percent increase on Section 301 tariffs is a concern. Although the potential has been around for months, the recent deadline was not expected. We had calculated and communicated the potential cost impact to our leadership.”

(Petroleum & Coal Products) “Weather in the middle of the country has slowed construction and infrastructure projects.” (Nonmetallic Mineral Products) “Business continues to be very strong. Our company and our supply base continue to be challenged getting manpower for production. Key commodity costs like steel have continued to come down. Lead times with suppliers have stabilized after moving out two to three times what they were a year ago.

Supply base performance has improved over the last 90 days and stabilized.” (Machinery) “Newly increased tariffs on Chinese imports pose an issue on a number of chemicals and materials that are solely produced in China. We are expecting increases in raw materials starting June 1.” (Plastics & Rubber Products) “General slowing due to inventory correction.” (Primary Metals)
