Braun Industries, Inc., the originators of Braun Handcrafted Ambulances did not begin as an ambulance manufacturer at all, nor did it begin in Van Wert, its present home in Northwest Ohio. It began as a pattern shop in Lithopolis, Ohio, a small community southeast of Columbus, Ohio -- the year was 1961.
A decade later, the pattern making industry began to soften. It became apparent that Braun Industries needed to diversify. The Village of Lithopolis, located in Bloom Township, opened bids for a new ambulance in 1972. And so, the idea for the first Braun hand-crafted ambulance was born. Lithopolis loved their new ambulance and Braun's future direction became very clear.
