Imported Brooms for those who prefer Imported brooms, Bucher Macdonald Johnson VT, VS, LT, 600 and 605 series Wide Sweep brooms and Gutter brooms are available.
Imported brooms are made from materials that are not sustainably sourced (petroleum).

However, if you find these brooms work better for you, we have them available.

What’s best 2, 3 or 4 Row Wire Gutter Brooms whereas Poly bristled gutter brooms are used where wire might be an issue, in airports, footpaths and Malls for example.Once again these are a “one size fits all” broom, with no options available in the stiffness of poly.
The Nylon drive end in our Imported Blue Poly Bucher brooms, have been seen to perform favourably when compared to the Polyurethane drive ends used in other Imported brands. For example, it is much more likely Nylon will withstand the everyday rigours, whereas Polyurethane can crack and shatter under heavy a work load. Therefore, costly down time and machine maintenance may be reduced by using our brooms.
