We are a family owned business started in 1957 by Homer Bartow. Presently Tracy Bartow, grandson of the founder, is the President/CEO of Brunk. Brunk began operations in 1957 as a local trucking company but with the Bartow leadership has diversified into plastics processing, storage and delivery, and calcium chloride distribution. In 1999 Brunk spun off the calcium chloride and trucking business activities into a separate company, AJP Corporation, also owned and operated by Tracy Bartow. In 2001 Brunk expanded its operations by opening a facility in the Minneapolis, Minnesota area. The two companies operate out of the same locations and combine to form a one-stop shop for product distribution. With our rail, trucking and warehousing capabilities we have become a popular choice for product distribution for the upper United States. Our services are particularly suited to the plastics industry, where Brunk's name is synonymous with superior quality and service, but also lend themselves to the warehousing and distribution of a variety of products.

Brunk employs 45 dedicated employees and specializes in the storage and distribution of plastic pellets for the plastics industry and the pulverizing of plastic for use in rotational molding. We offer the highest quality powders in the industry, while maintaining a 0.5% or less shrink factor, by capitalizing on our years of experience and through the use of quality Reduction Engineering machines. Attention to detail and automated handling ensures contamination-free product movement. Strong work ethic and dedicated customer service have been a tradition of the Bartow family and remains at the core of our culture.

Our sister company, AJP Corporation, owns and operates a truck fleet specially engineered for the transport of plastic. With our lightweight trailers we can deliver single bulk loads of 50,000 pounds or more of plastic. More product per load translates into delivery savings to our customers.

Brunk's Goshen facility is located on Norfolk Southern rail lines, where we have 85 railcar spots. We also lease CSX track 12 miles south of Goshen with 13 rail spots. Our Minnesota facility is adjacent to Canadian Pacific rail with 13 available spots. Our access to, and relationships with, these three major rail carriers allow us to economically serve the Midwest. With ten self-loading bulk trailers we have the flexibility and capability to ensure scheduling and deliveries to meet our customers' specific needs.

Our experience has told us our customers have very unique and special needs. We have found our success to be in our commitment to serve those needs. We invite you to browse our web site and get to know us better.
