About This Report
Fair Market Value publishes this NAICS 339994 industry profile drawing on data from the U.S. Census Bureau's County Business Patterns[7], Bureau of Labor Statistics employment data[5], and SBA size standard tables[6]. Our research team reviews janitorial supply industry reports and retail cleaning product data to verify production trends. This report receives quarterly updates reflecting workforce changes, raw material pricing, and market conditions affecting broom, brush, and mop manufacturers.
Industry Definition & Overview
Broom, Brush, and Mop Manufacturing (NAICS 339994) encompasses establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing brooms, brushes, and mops. Products include household brooms, push brooms, paintbrushes, paint rollers, artist brushes, industrial cleaning brushes, toothbrushes (manual), shaving brushes, floor mops, dust mops, and specialty brushes for machinery and equipment maintenance. The U.S. Census Bureau[4] classifies this industry within miscellaneous manufacturing.
Production processes divide into fiber-based and bristle-based product lines. Broom manufacturing involves corn fiber or synthetic filament bundling, handle attachment, and wire binding. Mop production requires cotton or microfiber yarn cutting, head assembly, and handle fitting. Brush manufacturing spans a wider range of techniques: bristle insertion into drilled blocks for paintbrushes, tufting machines for toothbrushes, and wire wheel construction for industrial applications. Paint roller production combines fabric nap adhesion to core tubes with handle assembly. Automated filling machines that insert synthetic bristles into molded handles dominate high-volume consumer brush production. The Bureau of Labor Statistics[5] classifies workers in this sector under miscellaneous manufacturing employment.
Under SBA size standards[6], NAICS 339994 carries a threshold of 750 employees. Private-label manufacturing for major retail chains generates large production volumes alongside branded product lines. Import competition affects commodity cleaning products, though domestic producers maintain advantages in quick-turnaround custom orders and institutional janitorial supply contracts. Raw material costs for natural fibers, synthetic filaments, and wood handles directly influence production economics across all product categories in this sector.
