A Century of Quality Craftsmanship

 

When you’re hauling grain across the Midwest or working on a construction site, the last thing you need is equipment failure. For more than 100 years, Brumleve Industries has served the agriculture and trucking industries with the kind of reliability that only comes from genuine expertise and old-fashioned quality craftsmanship.

 

From Harness Shop to Industry Leader

 

The Brumleve story started in 1904, when Louis G. Brumleve opened a harness shop on Main Street in Teutopolis, Illinois. Over the decades, as technology evolved and customer needs changed, the family-owned company evolved right alongside them. What began as a harness shop transformed into a full-service manufacturing operation specializing in tarp systems and metal fabrication.

 

Today, Brumleve Industries operates from their facility at 1317 West Main Street in Teutopolis, where three generations of the Brumleve family have maintained their commitment to putting customers first.

 

What Brumleve Does Best Tarp System Installation and Service

 

Brumleve has built its reputation as an authorized dealer for the industry’s most trusted brands including Roll-Rite, Shur-Co, Aero, Thunderstone, Agri-Cover, Sioux City Tarps, and Mountain Tarp. They specialize in electric tarp systems, crank systems, and ratchet-down systems for dump trailers, grain trailers, farm trucks, grain carts, and gravity wagons.

 

The team doesn’t just sell and install these systems – they service them. When something goes wrong on the road or in the field, Brumleve’s experienced technicians know how to diagnose and fix the problem quickly.

 

Replacement Parts When You Need Them

 

Equipment breaks down. It’s a fact of life in agriculture and trucking. That’s why Brumleve stocks a comprehensive inventory of replacement parts for every major tarp system brand. From tarp bows and stops to electric motors and cranks, they keep the parts you need on hand for fast, efficient service.

 

Custom Metal Fabrication

 

Beyond tarp systems, Brumleve’s fabrication capabilities extend to custom aluminum storage boxes, outdoor awnings, and specialized metal products. With plasma cutting and water jet cutting technology, they can manufacture products to your exact specifications in aluminum, steel, and stainless steel.

 

Built on Craftsmanship and Customer Service

 

What sets Brumleve Industries apart isn’t just their product range, it’s their approach. This is a company that answers the phone, knows your name, and understands that when your tarp system fails, you’re losing time and money.

 

The team includes veterans like Leon, who started in 1978 and still serves as Production and Tarp Sales Manager today. There’s Brandon, who joined in 2012 and became Tarp Systems Foreman after mastering electric tarp systems. And there’s Linda, who has been handling customer service since 1985.

 

This kind of institutional knowledge matters. When you call Brumleve, you’re talking to people who’ve seen every problem that can happen with a tarp system and know how to solve it.

 

Family Values, Modern Technology

 

In 2021, Michael Brumleve took over as CEO from his father Don, representing the latest chapter in the family’s commitment to the business. Under Michael’s leadership, Brumleve has expanded its e-commerce presence while maintaining the personalized service that built the company’s reputation.

 

The combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern technology defines how Brumleve operates. They use cutting-edge fabrication equipment, but they still believe in doing things right – using quality materials, taking the time to do custom work correctly, and standing behind what they sell.

 

More Than Just Tarps

 

After more than a century in business, Brumleve Industries provides peace of mind. They’re the people you call when you need a system installed right the first time. They’re the source for that hard-to-find replacement part. They’re the fabrication shop that can make exactly what you need, even if nobody else manufactures it.
