Follow on Google News | A Marriage of Man and Machine: Brahms Mount Keeps Maine’s Textile Traditions AliveBrahms Mount represents Maine on American-made editorial series
By: AOL, This Built America When David Kaufman bought Brahms Mount from owners Claudia Brahms and Noel Mount in 2009 he had one mission in mind: “Don’t screw it up.” Mission completed. Now with a rapidly growing business, Kaufman and Brahms Mount’s dedicated team maintain a balance between growing production numbers and maintaining traditional Maine textile manufacturing by: - Operating six vintage shuttle looms that date back to the 1940s (They own eight altogether) - Teaching their intricate weaving process to a new generation of employees to ensure more high quality products - Maintaining a largely human process that requires “all those hands on the product” that automation cannot replicate To see more on Brahms Mount’s manufacturing and the people behind the products, visit http:///www.thisbuiltamerica.com/ Brahms Mount joins a national movement in This Built America that is devoted to supporting American companies and American-made products. AOL is proud to support the effort along with sponsor Ford Trucks. Through the year, the editorial and video teams will explore 50 states in 50 weeks to bring 50 stories of the people who are bringing back manufacturing to America. The platform is produced in coordination with Man Made Content. This Built America: 770 Broadway New York, NY 10003 http://www.ThisBuiltAmerica.com 212-652-6494 (x26494) End
