About SIB
Svenska Industriborstar i Västerås AB (SIB) was founded in 1955 by Walter Droeser. For the first 25 years, SIB concentrated exclusively on industrial brush solutions and applications.
In the end of the 1970s, after years of design work and tests, SIB was able to present a unique system for keeping runways free of ice, snow, rubber and FOD (Foreign Object Debris).
35 years after its launch, the cassette brush system, which consists of a rotating core and an arrangement of special cassette brushes, is still totally unique in terms of performance, efficiency and environmental friendliness.
The company is still family owned.
