About us

Knowledge. Ability. Want

BRUGGER is an expert in the entire world of magnetism, especially for permanent magnets of all kinds. On this basis, we fulfil a wide range of possible applications. Accordingly, our core competences also include the production of individual moulds as well as the embedding and encasing of magnets in materials such as plastic, rubber and metal. Processes such as injection moulding, metal processing, pressing, punching and gluing expand our areas of expertise.
We combine technological precision with human values: as a Black Forest family business, we develop sustainable magnet systems that set standards through uncompromising quality and ecological responsibility.

A company history full of appeal

Today, there are few industries in which BRUGGER is not represented with a range of specialised products. This expertise is no accident. It is the result of many years of experience, constant innovation, consistent customer-orientation and strict quality management. And it is the consequence of the conviction not to rest on our laurels, but to see new customer requirements as a challenge and an opportunity.

1963

Rudolf Brugger founded his first business, a metalworking shop, in Schramberg-Sulgen in 1963. In the beginning, the metalwork was done on a wage labour basis by only three employees, who produced mainly bent wire parts for tent accessories and shop fittings.

1968


In 1968, the company added to its range of products by starting to manufacture magnet systems for advertising signs to be used by major department stores. This new product line started small, but grew and expanded over the years. The fact that this small manufacturing company was able to rapidly meet customer needs made it stand out right from the start.

1973

In 1973, it officially became a limited partnership. Orders for magnets continued to increase. So much so that by the 80's, the company invested in its first injection molding machine in order to inject the magnets into the housing.

1982-1994

In 1982, the company changed its name to Brugger GmbH. Due to the good order situation, the possibilities for expansion on the property in Schramberg-Sulgen were soon exhausted. Therefore, in 1994, the construction of a new factory building was started in Hardt for a production according to the most modern aspects at that time. The sons Thomas and Georg Brugger successively took over the management.

1999-2003

In 1999, Brugger GmbH was certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001. Since then, the company has been able to grow continuously and record increasing order numbers. In order to meet the demands of the market, an extension was built in 2003 and the production and storage area was expanded to around 5,000 m². These measures created ideal conditions for efficient and successful production.

2008 until today

In 2008, Brugger GmbH introduced environmental management in accordance with the EU Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) and thus set an example for sustainability. In 2013, Brugger published its first sustainability report and celebrated its 50th anniversary. In 2016, the company was awarded the "Attractive Employer" seal by the Schwarzwald-Baar-Heuberg Chamber of Industry and Commerce for the first time and is still an "Attractive Employer" today.

Actively shaping the world

The people at Brugger, the partnership with our customers and our responsibility for the region are at the centre of everything we do. We manage our company with foresight and actively adapt to the changing times. For us, sustainable management is not a compromise, but the basis: we harmonise ecology, economy and social values.

Good business relationships need a strong foundation: trust. That's why reliability is a promise we keep every day - in fair dealings with our suppliers and in unconditional quality for our customers."

True trust grows through honesty. That's why we believe in straightforward communication - honest with our customers, open with the team and critical of our own actions. This is our basis for a partnership that lasts.

We concentrate on the essentials in order to guarantee sustainable results and genuine quality. We are focussed in everything we do - and in what we consciously leave undone.

Responsibility through profitability: We act cost-consciously and efficiently so that we can remain a strong, independent partner for our customers in the future.

We think in cycles - from responsible procurement and resource-conserving production to environmentally friendly disposal. In this way, we ensure economic development that is in harmony with our environment. For us, sustainability is not a trend, but an attitude.
