Q. What company makes Brother sewing machines?

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.
