Keystone Plastics Partners with 1-800-SWEEPER to Supply Replacement Street Sweeping Brooms
Keystone Plastics, a leading manufacturer of street sweeping brooms and brushes, has partnered with 1-800-SWEEPER to supply their North American sweeping partners with replacement street sweeping brooms.
Keystone manufacturers OEM quality replacement brooms for all model street sweepers and will be the exclusive supplier of brooms to 1-800-SWEEPER.
Why Quality Matters
Why do OEMs typically use the best quality products for their new equipment? The answer is simple.

Especially when the neighbors are on their way over expecting that famous barbecue you’ve been bragging about.
