Brooks Ltd, piano action manufacturers, was established in 1810. Herrburger was established in France under the name Schwander in 1844. The two companies merged in 1920 to form Herrburger Brooks Ltd. Herrburger Brooks was the sole manufacturer to Great Britain and the Commonwealth of 'Schwander' actions. They also made the 'Herrburger', 'Brooks', 'Langer' and other actions.
The company's factories were at Camden Town and Kentish Town in London and at Long Eaton (Meadow Lane and Phoenix Mills). It is believed that Herrburger Brooks took over Provincial Piano Actions Ltd, which was based in Long Eaton, in around 1935. Herrburger Brooks plc went into liquidation in December 1998
