Meinl continue their steady growth by entering the realm of manufacturing drum sticks as well as related products such as brushes, cajon brushes, bundle sticks and mallets.
The goal the company set for themselves was to achieve consistency for every single pair of sticks through assigning a specific wood density to a given stick model. All sticks to be sold in Europe are and will be manufactured in our continent in order to avoid buckling of wood, which could occur due to climate differences and transport conditions.
