Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Manufacturing worker who performs the entire process from selecting bristle materials for brushes and brushes, processing handles, bristle setting, bonding, shaping, finishing, and inspection.
Description
Brush manufacturing workers select bristle materials such as animal hair or synthetic fibers, form bristle bundles and attach them to handles through 'bristle setting', bonding, finishing by cutting and shaping, and final inspection, handling a series of manufacturing processes. Much of the work is manual, requiring skills to adjust bristle density and stiffness while achieving uniform finishes. To maintain production efficiency and quality, they also handle basic operations and maintenance of tools and machines, as well as inspections and record-keeping between processes.
Future Outlook
While demand is stable, manual labor may decrease due to advances in mechanization and automation. Demand for high-value-added products for traditional crafts and brushes for special applications is expected to continue.
