Who We Are

Bredemeier is proud to be a member of the Marwick Manufacturing sampling companies that produce the most complete array of marketing supportive products available. 

For over 100 years, Bredemeier has always understood the importance of listening and responding to its customers’ needs. This old fashioned idea is fundamental to Bredemeier’s reputation as the premier producer of swatch cards, swatch tags, individual sampling, custom binders and other various sampling needs.

E. W. Bredemeier and Co. began in 1895 as a button card manufacturer. Over the years, they started producing sample books and cards for the men’s clothing companies and other fabric distributors. Several prestigious wholesale dry goods companies came to demand Bredemeier’s service as well for production of sample products, using actual products or illustrations to be used by the proverbial door to door salesman. During the great depression, Bredemeier made whatever it could to keep its doors open. During World War II it made portable Checker sets for Gi’s abroad as well as Mess kits. Through history, Bredemeier has produced a diverse range of products.

Equally essential to Bredemeier’s flexibility and adaptability is its commitment to utilizing state of the art technology to produce attractive, creative, and highly accurate display pieces that best reflect its customer’s products lines, marketing needs, and corporate visions. Quite simply, “we are in the business of helping our customers sell their products”. Because we combine today’s technology with the knowledge and experience of our employees, we are able to manufacture accurate marketing tools for almost any type of material including: upholstery, panel or industrial fabrics, vinyl’s, laminates or wood veneers, leather, paint sheets and apparel fabrics and woolens.

In the course of our 100 plus years, we have mastered the art of combining tradition with technology to make this mission our reality. This in turn means we can provide our valued customers with competitive pricing, quick turnaround and sample products of unsurpassed accuracy and quality.
