New Member Spotlight: Meet Westbrass.
Westbrass, which has run continuously since 1935, was founded by two brothers to serve the needs of plumbing wholesalers on the West Coast. The product lines at the time included items such as hose bibs, valves, and malleable fittings to serve the needs of California’s expanding construction markets. In 1985, the company’s leading salesman, Max Homami, purchased the organization. Seeing a boom in the home improvement industry, Mr. Homami had a vision to make Westbrass the leader in Kitchen & Bath Accessories.
The company currently manufactures and imports its own products. To ensure excellence, these products are made to pass the highly stringent requirements of NSF, IAPMO, ADA, and many other regulations. The Los Angeles-based company now sells a wide range of plumbing specialty products, bath waste & overflows, as well as decorative kitchen & bath accessories worldwide. The customer base includes kitchen & bath showrooms and internet providers, plumbing wholesalers and supply houses, OEM and ODM companies, and several national home centers.
Westbrass holds several patented items including the Deep Soak Overflow designed for extra-deep soaking in most bathing-wells, the Closing Linear Overflow and several other intellectual properties.
