In 1983, Mike Morey Sr. and six employees built the first Brush Bandit chipper in a small Mid-Michigan warehouse. Today Bandit employs over 700 people in over 560,000 square feet of manufacturing space, serving 56 countries with over 50 different models of hand-fed and whole tree chippers, stump grinders, The Beast horizontal grinders, track carriers / skid steer attachments. Much has changed since 1983, but Bandit’s mission statement and core values endure as the foundation for Bandit’s commitment to excellence.
