Brico Industries Inc. is marking its 50th anniversary this year. A two-man distributorship opened in a 3,500 sq.ft. warehouse on November 1, 1970, in Rosemont, IL. Thus was the start of “The Bright Name in Fasteners.” In March 1971, a small manufacturing plant was acquired and merged into Brico. The facility was expanded to 7,000 sq.ft. By summer of 1973, Brico was occupying 10,500 sq.ft. including adjoining units, and still needing more space. A new 26,000 sq.ft. building was found in Elmhurst. Brico added again in 1980 to expand to 40,000 sq.ft. Brico also opened a 7,500 sq.ft. facility in Arkansas. Over the decades, working for Brico developed into careers for employees. So far 19 employees have completed working careers and retired from Brico. Today there are 19 employees with more than a decade with Brico, and six with more than 20 years. The current management team has a combined 421 years of fastener experience. Brico manufactures fasteners in aluminum, brass, stainless steel, and steel in #4 to 1/2 diameters up to 4” in length. It manufactures a wide variety of screws such as Thread Cutting, Multi Blow, Thread Forming, Tri-roundular, Thread Forms for Plastic, and Sheet Metal in virtually all drive styles such as 6-lobe, Phil Square, Square, Combinations and Tamper Proofs, as well as Cruciform types 1, 1A and 11.
