It highlights the fact that 2009 is the75th year that Brookfield has been in business. By any measure wehave been and are successful in what we do, which is to supply highvalue instrumentation and service to our customers.But it is a mistake to laud ourselves for our success to date. Itis more important to realize what factors allowed Brookfield togrow and thrive for the last 75 years, and to make certain thatwe continue the programs and attitudes and principles that havegiven Brookfield such an enviable position throughout industry andthe world. Offering products that customers need at the levelof quality they expect, developing new products and accessoriesbased on customer feedback and market requirements, andcontinuously improving our after sales support through superiorservice and training, all with an attitude of low cost and high valueto our customers.We recognize that it is our customers who have made Brookfieldsuccessful, and continued success depends solely on protectingand expanding our customer’s satisfaction with Brookfield. In2008 we acquired a company whose products we have been sellingfor 10 years, thereby allowing us to provide faster response andbetter service for our successful RS Rheometer product line. Weare expanding into other fields, such as texture, with products thatprovide high performance at very competitive pricing. We continueto develop and improve our existing product line to meet the needsthat arise from the modern industrial environment.It is our hope, our expectation, that by continuing to do thesethings, which historically have allowed Brookfield to grow and togain our reputation as a top tier supplier, we will be able to proudlyannounce our 100th year and beyond with the same satisfactionand commitment as we now recognize our 75th anniversary.David Brookfield,PresidentT: 800.628.8139 or 508.946.6200 F: 508.946.6262 www.brookfieldengineering.com
Celebrating 75 Years!1934-1958 - The first 25 years“I can make a better one than that!”said a young, confidentDonald Brookfield, Sr. in1933 to his father whileaccompanying him to alaboratory supply house tolook at viscometers for theirsynthetic resin businessventure. And with thisunpredictable statement fromthe recent MIT graduate, ourhistory began.Don went home and beganexperimenting with motorsand springs in the basementof his family’s home. It wasn’t as easy as he thought it wouldbe while at the laboratory supply house with his dad, but Donfound the work challenging, he enjoyed it, and he was goodat it. Don envisioned a different viscometer than what wasconventional at the time and began experimenting with othermaterials that would ultimately produce his first viscometer.This original, single-speed instrument would later developinto what is now known as “the world standard” in viscositymeasurement and control.Business began slowly, but it built at a steady pace as wordof the instrument’s quality — and its inventor — began tospread. Don’s practice of exchanging older units with newand improved ones at no charge was unheard of, and ofcourse, well received. As Don later said, “This gave us greatcredibility…or maybe they just thought we were crazy!”.A few years after the business began to pick up, war brokeout. Brookfield, like many manufacturers of the time, puttheir main business on hold in order to contribute to the WWIIeffort. Although it was necessary to shift the priority fromviscometers to war components, Don felt privileged to helpout any way he could, and in later years, was very proud of thecontribution Brookfield had made.After the war, Don was able to return full-time to developmentby improving on the original single-speed design bydeveloping a two-speed model, then a four-speed, and later,an eight-speed. The instrument continued to evolve over theyears into the multi-speed electronic drive model that is still inproduction today.1959-1983 - The next 25 yearsDon remained true to his original vision of “the highest qualityat the lowest possible price” by developing other significantchanges to the instruments themselves and, also, by creativelyextending their range and uses. Over the next 25 yearsBrookfield continued to address issues of temperature control,the ability to measure small sample volumes, and the needto measure very low viscosities by inventing a wide range ofaccessories to compliment the various model viscometers thathad been engineered over the years. Temperature controldevices, adapters, mixers, and stands were designed to expandthe versatility of Brookfield’s original — and newly developeddigital — line of viscometers. Brookfield also responded torequests by customers to measure continuously in productionby developing a complete range of shear rate defined in-lineProcess Viscometers.What was once a small, application-specific instrumentcompany was now becoming a globally-important resourcein such industrial areas as asphalt, adhesives, biological fluids,chemicals, drilling fluids, foods, paints, personal care products,polymers, etc. During this period, his son, David, joined thecompany and helped to develop the companies’ productand reputation further. The Brookfield Viscometer beganappearing in standards all over the world — and still continuesto be a force in most major industrial applications.1984-2009 - The past 25 yearsTechnology began progressing at an alarming rate, continuallyknocking on the doors of conventional instrumentation.Brookfield answered each call by producing a wide range ofdigital and programmable viscometers and rheometers thatwould operate in stand-alone mode or could be remotelycontrolled by a PC and software. Greater measurementcapabilities would allow customers the ability to perform avariety of testing methods, from simple centipoise readingsto high end shear rate/shear stress calculations. To meetthe needs of the increasing number of customers usingcontinuous viscosity measurement in the automation of theirproduction control, Brookfield expanded its line of processinstruments to include viscosity sensors with no moving partsand no need for field calibration.Brookfield also branched into new areas by adding our firstTexture Analyzer to the product mix. These instrumentsprovided the perfect compliment to our line of R&D and QCtesting instrumentation as it imitated many human testingconditions that a traditional viscometer cannot offer.Don passed away in 2004 but Brookfield Engineeringcontinues to honor his legacy by supplying products of thehighest quality and value with the best service…and of course,by always thinking ahead—of advancing the technology,to find ways of making viscosity measurement and controlinstrumentation even “better.”
