STABILITY BUILT UPON 75 YEARS

OF INNOVATION AND COUNTING

 

It all began in 1946 in Lansdale, when Stephen Brooks opened the doors of the Brooks Rotameter Company. He leased the building for $75 per month, and early employees fondly dubbed it “Siberia”.  It was unheated and mice outnumbered the employees. The building was in such bad shape that it had to be shored up with heavy beams so it would not cave in. Stephen Brooks was a chemical engineer and he started this new company on the strength of his engineering innovation—the side-plate, dowel-pin principle of rotameter construction. This new type of construction so improved the strength and maintenance characteristics of the rotameter that it launched a company that survives and continues to be a success.
