Celebrating a century of excellence: Gusmer reaches 100 years in business

Gusmer is a brand brewers should know. The New Jersey-based business provides a wide variety of brewing expertise ranging from fermentation and filtration to processing aids and vessels, selling everything from lab equipment to entire brewhouses, often as a distributor. But Gusmer Enterprises is much more than a brewing expert. Today, Gusmer Enterprises Inc. is one of the leading beverage filtration manufacturers and suppliers of processing aids and equipment to the entire beverage industry, focusing on the beer, wine, juice and distilled spirits segments.

In 2024, Gusmer is celebrating 100 years in business, and we must tip our hat to this excellent company, which has been a long time supporter of CBB. Founded in 1918, Gusmer began as a provider of products to the brewing market. In 1924, under the leadership of Aage Gusmer, the company was incorporated as the exclusive distributor of a tank coating for the North and South American brewing industry. Over the past century, Gusmer has grown into one of the leading beverage filtration manufacturers and suppliers of processing aids and equipment to the entire beverage industry. Its comprehensive range of filtration products includes everything from depth filter material and fiber to sheets, stacks and cross-flow systems. Their specialty products, such as absorbent products and custom materials, are used in various industrial and commercial applications.

Integrity and respect are the cornerstones of Gusmer’s culture, reflected in its commitment to communication, creativity, collaboration and celebration. The company’s hallmark, Service with Knowledge, emphasizes stellar service, a consultative sales approach and in-house technical expertise. With strategically located offices and warehouses throughout the United States, and a network of domestic and international distributors, Gusmer ensures accessibility and responsiveness to customers worldwide. The company also brings a lot of great overseas brands to American brewers — from Sigrist-Photometer turbidity measurement tools to mbt Brautechnik GmbH brewhouses.

Just like many craft breweries, Gusmer remains privately held and actively managed by the Gusmer family, now in its third generation. The company prides itself on long-term collaborative partnerships with employees, customers and suppliers, fostering continuous improvement and innovation. This dedication has established Gusmer as the go-to provider of goods and services that enhance the quality of products brewers use daily.
