Brewster Washers Marks Its 105th Anniversary
March 15th of each year marks the anniversary of Brewster Washers’ founding by Bill Brewster, Jr., in 1919.
This year’s anniversary, our 105th, is a bittersweet one for the company, with the passing of Sal Freda, Jr. in September of 2023.
In the 30+ years that Sal was with Brewster, and particularly those when he served as President, the company made significant strides as it opened its doors to new technologies, forged pathways into new markets, and experienced unprecedented growth. Sal was a great mentor, leader, and friend to us all.
As we remember Sal and mark this historic milestone, our deepest thanks go out to our employees, to our valued clients, and to all those who have made this incredible journey possible, as we look to the future with great promise and pledge to embrace the challenges that lie before us.

(Brewster Washers also manufactures custom parts for the DOD, EV / Automotive, Robotics, Computer, Aircraft, Medical and many other vertical markets.)
She is an outstanding role model for all young women in business today and someone we are all extremely proud of!

Heartfelt congratulations are in order for our own Brielle Freda Seminerio, Operations Manager at Brewster Washers, on receiving the One to Watch award from Commerce and Industry Association of NJ (CIANJ), as they honor Enterprising Women in Commerce.
The announcement was made at CIANJ’s 3rd Annual awards ceremony held on August 16, 2023 at the Glen Ridge Country Club.
Brielle was nominated by her father and President of Brewster Washers, Salvatore Freda, Jr., for her ability to take on new and greater responsibilities, thus assuming a more challenging role within the company, as Mr. Freda recovers from a battle with leukemia.
Please join Brewster Washers in congratulating Brielle on the important recognition this well-deserved award represents. She is an outstanding role model for all young women in business today and someone we are all extremely proud of!
