How We Make It: Behind the Scenes of a Brown Company Production Run

Some companies talk about quality. At Brown Company, we build it in.

Our customers care about performance, consistency, and reliability. That means we don’t have room for guesswork or good-enough. It starts with process. Every shock absorber bag that leaves our facility goes through a series of steps designed to eliminate variation and maximize precision.

Here’s what that looks like behind the scenes.

It starts with materials
Each formulation is selected based on compression response, chemical compatibility, and operating temperature. That material is tracked and inspected before it ever enters our manufacturing area.

Manufacturing isn’t mass production, it’s precision shaping
Each bag is formed to spec. That includes tolerances for wall thickness, fold behavior, and sealing dimensions. Whether it’s a short-run prototype or a long-term OEM build, the focus is the same: match the design exactly.

Every run includes documented checks
We believe in accountability. That’s why we keep real inspection logs for every run. Operators check dimensions, bonding strength, and surface integrity. We also track machine conditions and tooling to ensure repeatability.

Cleaning, sealing, and packaging are part of the performance
A great bag can be compromised by poor packaging or contamination. That’s why we run clean work zones anduse smart protective packaging.  Because, product integrity doesn’t stop at the press.

We don’t just build the part. We build the process
At Brown Company, we’ve worked with OEM engineers, rail procurement teams, and performance builders who need parts they can trust. That trust comes from transparency, documentation, and a team that knows the cost of getting it wrong.

So when we say “Made in Findlay,” we mean it was built with care, from start to finish.
