Production
In-House

We produce all our brushes entirely in-house, from design to assembly and quality control. This ensures direct communication, reliable delivery times, and maximum control over quality and sustainability. Thanks to local production, we limit transport, shorten the supply chain, and reduce CO² emissions. Moreover, we can quickly respond to customization and specific customer requirements.

  • Short supply chain and fast delivery within the region
  • Consistent quality and sustainable production processes
  • Transparency about origin, material use, and performance

Toolbox Meetings Sweeping brushes

The right brush choice, adjustment to the surface, rotation speed, and pressure make a big difference in lifespan and performance. In our Toolbox meetings, we share practical tips tailored to your situation. This is how KOTI helps you get the most out of every sweeping or weed brush with less wear, lower costs, and reduced environmental impact.

  • Longer brush use = less replacement = cost savings
  • Reduced CO² impact through more efficient use
  • Better grip on performance in the field
Your success is our success

Brush refurbishment

A core construction can be a costly component of a brush. It’s always wise to check if the core is eligible for reuse. Our technical experts have all the knowledge to assess whether we can provide your KOTI-brush with new filling materials. After all, we develop and produce the initial brushes entirely in-house.

01
Wear limit

Once the filling material of your KOTI-brush reaches the wear limit, you can send the worn brush back to KOTI.

02
Quality check

We check the overall core structure for any defects, check tolerances and any bearing, and remove the old fill.

03
Refurbishing

After the core construction is approved, the brush will be refurbished. We remove the old filling materials and replace the core with new ones. This process is carried out in our specialized factory.

04
Your brush, as good as new

You will receive the same core with new filling materials. This is how we reduce our ecological footprint together.
