John Moses Brunswick established the J.M. Brunswick Manufacturing Company in Cincinnati, Ohio. Originally producing carriages, he soon turned to crafting billiard tables, building his first for a local meatpacker. That single table sparked a legacy that would define the game for generations.

As Brunswick’s reputation for quality grew, so did its reach. The company established its Chicago headquarters, solidifying its place as the leading name in billiards and guiding the brand through a new era of innovation.

For 100 years, Brunswick had been at the center of the game, crafting tables that set the standard for playability and design. A century after its founding, the company’s influence on the sport was unmatched.

First introduced in 1961, the Gold Crown quickly became a staple in both professional and recreational settings. Renowned for its modern design and superior playability, the Gold Crown series became synonymous with excellence and remains a classic in the industry.

Brunswick’s drive to innovate extended beyond billiards. In 1969, company engineers pioneered air hockey, creating a game that would bring fast-paced excitement to arcades, game rooms, and family spaces worldwide.

A new home for a legendary name. Brunswick Billiards relocated to Bristol, Wisconsin, ensuring its heritage of craftsmanship and innovation would continue for generations to come.
