BRUGGER has been committed to environmental protection and sustainability for many years. We pay attention to the economic impact and ecological footprint of our decisions. We have been CO2-neutral since 2019 and continue to strive for a low impact on the environment. Sustainability is not a marketing label for us, but part of our technical and organisational decisions: Material selection, supply chain, testing strategy and service life all have a direct impact on environmental performance and availability.

Reduction of critical alloys (heavy rare earths)

The mining of heavy rare earths (e.g. dysprosium/terbium) is considered to be particularly harmful to the environment. For this reason, we take care to avoid sourcing alloys containing heavy rare earths wherever technically possible when procuring our raw magnets. Less critical material means a better environmental footprint - and often fewer dependencies.

Responsible supply chain with direct influence

Through FairMagnet, we have direct contact with manufacturers of raw magnets - and thus real influence instead of just being a dealer. We audit smelters and mines to rule out conflict materials and environmentally harmful overexploitation. In addition, we test the raw magnets delivered to Brugger in our own laboratory before they go into production.

Local production & longevity as the biggest sustainability lever

The production of all manufacturing steps here in Germany eliminates transport routes for intermediate products. Our management with the lowest possible CO2 footprint ensures that our magnet solutions have a very good sustainability balance. Even more importantly, our magnet systems are often more corrosion-resistant and durable because we coat or overmould them using our own processes. A longer service life reduces replacement, downtime and material usage - often the decisive sustainability factor over the entire product life cycle.
