Hard to believe, but it’s been more than 100 years since Mathew Andis created the first generation
of today’s Master Clipper in the basement of his home in Racine, Wisconsin. Four generations
later, we’ve remained family owned and operated. And we’re proud to work alongside a team dedicated
to the Andis legacy in a state-of-the-art facility located just a short drive from where it all began.
How we got here wasn’t easy, but it was very simple: if it isn’t the best, we don’t make it. That
unwavering commitment to relentless innovation and quality remains as true today as it was a century
ago. And if we have any say in the matter, it’ll remain just as true a century from today.
through the years
Although our community has grown over the last century, we are family-owned, driven by quality and innovation. And still located just a short drive away from where it all began.

join the andis family
Our workplace is custom made for inspiring and ambitious people who are driven to create a new
way forward. Those who express themselves with excellence, integrity, and respect. As a family-owned
business since 1922, we’re as committed to quality and innovation today as the day we were founded.
And we’re on the lookout for people who can keep that drive going strong far into the future.
We believe we can all make a difference. We’re proud to support nonprofit organizations that do incredible work every day.
Andis Foundation
Our nonprofit’s mission is to build strong families, develop thriving kids and foster a vibrant community. We award grants
to organizations with the same mission, provide monetary matching for other charities, and run a scholarship program for children
of Andis Company associates.
The Pawsperity
Inspiration and hope. It is what our partners at Pawsperity are all about. This innovative, Kansas City-based nonprofit
organization works to lift single-parent families out of poverty through education and job training in the art of pet grooming. Not only
do they impart grooming knowledge but they also offer the additional support services so vital in breaking the cycle of poverty – from
housing and transportation to counseling and legal aid.
The Conscious Kid
We are a supporter of The Conscious Kid, a nonprofit organization dedicated to equity and promoting healthy racial identity development
in youth. We help distribute kids’ books to barbershops across the U.S. as a way to help educate and disrupt racism in children.
The Andis Company serves as a host site for the Project SEARCH program, which helps develop social and employment skills for young
adults with disabilities.
Farming – The Next Generation
We provide support to numerous nonprofit youth programs, including 4-H, Future Farmers of America and Junior Livestock, dedicated to the
next generation of farming. These programs work to help youth develop vital skills outside the traditional classroom, so they can succeed in
life as well as career.
United Way
We are a longtime supporter of the United Way of Racine County, partnering to build up the community where we live and work. Each year, our
associates volunteer for the Annual Day of Caring, and are actively involved in the employee pledge campaign fundraiser and silent auction.
Gentle Carousel Miniature Therapy Horses
Tiny horses, big smiles. Gentle Carousel Miniature Therapy Horses, an award-winning nonprofit based in Ocala, Florida, takes its teams
of mini horses to visit over 25,000 adults and children each year inside hospitals, hospice programs and across America to families, veterans and
first responders who have experienced traumatic events. Their fun “Reading Is Magic” literacy program seeks to inspire young readers in high-risk
neighborhoods. To receive permission to enter hospitals, schools and other facilities, the Gentle Carousel team must create impeccable grooms on
their horses and Andis is proud to be their preferred clipper brand.
Wisconsin Humane Society
Supporting our furry friends is just as important as aiding the people in our community. Our grant to the Wisconsin Human Society of Racine
County has helped provide equipment that is essential in the grooming of pets so they can find their forever homes. The most recent upgrade was
a new grooming space and bathing tub to help volunteers wash dogs more safely and comfortably, making it a more enjoyable experience for both human
and animal. We also provide clippers and blades to prep for any surgical care animals may need prior to adoption.
The Cut
With the goal of inspiring and fostering creative trades, we're investing in the future of our industry. We partnered with Gateway Technical
College to ensure barbering and cosmetology careers are more accessible to people in Southeast Wisconsin, by creating a new school in Burlington
called The Cut. In addition to backing this start-up school, we fund three scholarships annually, allowing future barbers and stylists to embark
on a successful creative career.
The Equal Justice Initiative
Andis is dedicated to creating positive, long-term change by speaking out against racial inequality and fighting injustice. That's why we have
partnered with the Equal Justice Initiative, an organization committed to ending mass incarceration, excessive punishment, and racial inequality in the U.S.
True Skool
In everything we do, we seek to inspire creativity. Based in Milwaukee, True Skool is tapping into young people’s potential to be creative,
productive, and empowered. This innovative nonprofit teaches middle and high school students through hip-hop culture and transformative creative arts.
We support True Skool to help today's youth see all that they're capable of.
Riverbend Nature Center
Get back outside and breathe in deep. To help ease the stress of at-home education and the added pressures of the recent pandemic, the Andis
Foundation funded a new nature trail designed for children. This wilderness trail allows families near our Sturtevant headquarters to safely
re-engage with their community in an interactive learning environment. We give them a safe place to explore and get inspired.
