Munich, March 2019 – The Brüning Group comprises the individual companies Brüning-Euromulch GmbH, Brüning-Megawatt GmbH, Brüning-Logistik GmbH, Brüning International GmbH and Gebrüder Meyer GmbH. Positioned as a supply and disposal company, the Group established itself, inter alia, as a market leader in the supply of biomass heating and power plants. The Brüning Group is a pan-European service provider that structures and pools the flow of energy-yielding bulk materials, mainly woody raw material, for both thermal and material recycling (e.g. between utilities, wood-based industry, gardening and landscaping companies).
The Group distinguishes itself by a comprehensive and unique product portfolio of mulch and bark products, pellets, wood chips, sawdust and waste wood on the one hand as well as by its reliable disposal and supply services to its customers and suppliers supported by its own logistic on the other hand. As a result, revenues exceeded EUR 90 million in 2018.
