B.I. Brooks and Sons, Inc. has origins that go back to 1959 in the material handling industry. Over that time we have seen the material handling industry change a great deal, but we have not lost our focus on providing quality products, excellent service, and competitive pricing.

B.I. Brooks and Sons came about through a long transition. The company was originally founded in 1959, through a previous owner. In 1973 Boyd Brooks joined the firm as a sales engineer and went about the business of carrying on the company's policy of taking care of our customer's material handling needs based on trust and fairness.

With the retirement of the founder of the company, Boyd Brooks became sole owner in 1983 and Carol Brooks, his wife, joined him in the capacity of office management. He soon changed the name of the company to B.I. Brooks and Son, Inc. with the addition of his oldest son Tom Brooks, who joined the firm in 1984.

Tom graduated from Kansas State University with a Mechanical Engineering degree. He continued the long company tradition of treating customers with trust and fairness, and was a tremendous addition to the engineering staff.

In 1988, John Brooks began his career in the sales department and the company's name changed to B.I. Brooks and Son(s), Inc. John graduated from the University of Kansas with a bachelor's degree in Economics and Business.

In June of 1994 the family and company experienced the sad passing of Boyd Brooks. The family and the employees pulled together to overcome the loss and void that was left by Boyd. Although, it was a struggle the first year, we all stuck together and have since seen the company grow tremendously. Carol is now the company CFO Tom is the President.

We have not lost sight of the policy that was set 40 years ago and carried on by the late Boyd Brooks, who passed it onto his sons, and who continue it today: "Taking care of our customer's material handling needs based on trust and fairness".
