Lyons, Nebraska, September 24, 2024 – Brehmer Mfg., Inc., a manufacturer specializing in fertilizer, hog, and tire recycling equipment, is celebrating its 50th anniversary with an Open House event on Friday, October 4, 2024. The public is invited to tour the plant, visit with workers, and learn about the company and its products.

Since its founding in 1974, Brehmer Mfg. has grown from four employees in a 1,500-square- foot, former olive factory to almost 60,000 square feet of manufacturing space and 45 full- time employees, building a variety of agricultural and tire-recycling equipment.

In 1991, the company was approached by a newly formed business known as Tire Resource Systems. They were charged to design and build the first product of what would become Eagle International Tire Recycling Equipment. This hydraulic-powered tire shear, the Tru-Cut, hit the market in 1994 and led to the development of other shears, sidewall cutters, derimmers, and debeaders capable of processing tires up to 59/80R63.

Founded by Rey Brehmer, Brehmer Mfg. has remained a family business. Son and current President Joe Brehmer took over the reins in 1998 after Rey's retirement, bringing in brother Jamie as the company's Vice President. Younger brother Chad joined the family business later in 2012. Sadly, Rey passed away in 2015, leaving a legacy of hard work, integrity, and innovation within the company.

The next generation of Brehmers has started making an impact on the business as well. Brothers Ryan and Alex Brehmer, the current Vice President, joined the company in 2015 and 2019, respectively.

In 2017, Brehmer acquired Eagle International Tire Recycling Equipment, expanding their global presence by building a network of dealerships in. They continued to grow by developing a highly sought after line of fertilizer tenders and a patented line of hog feeders for commercial growers.

"It's hard to believe that it has been 50 years!" observes Brehmer Mfg. President, Joe Brehmer. "Our success would not have been possible without the dedication of the men and women who have worked here. The amazing support we got from our customers and vendors made this journey very special."

As Brehmer Mfg. celebrates its 50th anniversary, the spirit of innovation that Rey Brehmer instilled in the company continues to thrive. The company continues to build products that create a lasting impact, growing from humble beginnings to a global company with products in 27 countries.
