Q. What company makes Brother sewing machines?

Answer

Kanekichi Yasui, the patriarch of the present-day Japanese conglomerate Brother Industries, Ltd., founded the Yasui Sewing Machine Co. in 1908 to meet the need for sewing machine maintenance and replacement parts. Originally founded in Japan as Nippon Sewing Machine Manufacturing Co., Brother Industries, Ltd. Brother has been around for more than a century, and in that time, it has evolved from a small Japanese company into a global conglomerate with many divisions. Brother's basis of good leadership and new product development has stayed constant throughout its history, and is just as vital now as it was when the company was founded in 1908.
