Brother UK Ltd is a member of the Brother Group of Nagoya, a multi-international company with offices worldwide and manufacturing plants in Japan, Taiwan, Korea, America, Malaysia, Ireland and the UK.
Brother UK was established in London in 1959 but then moved to Manchester in 1968 following the takeover of Jones Sewing Machine Company. Brother UK used this as a base for marketing their range of typewriters, knitting and sewing machines. Today, they also market printers, fax machines, multi-function centres, word processors and labelling machines.
As well as having the advantages of belonging to a multinational company, Brother UK strive to improve every aspect of their operation. In 1994 they achieved the quality standard BS EN ISO 9002, an internationally recognised standard for Quality Management Systems. Brother UK is also committed to making environmental management an integral part of their business. Efforts to decrease their use of energy and materials and to minimise the amount of waste generated have made a significant difference over the years.
