How it all began

1965

Hans and Paul Brunner founded Hartchromwerk Brunner AG, starting out with just seven employees.

1966

The company experienced rapid growth. Nearly 500 clients around the world trust in the precision and expertise of Hartchromwerk Brunner AG.

1970

The company launched several phases of expansion: the facility was enlarged, the electrolyte baths upgraded, and the machinery regularly updated with the latest technology.

1990

That year the company built what was, at the time, the largest hard chrome bath, holding 120,000 liters of electrolyte – enabling surface finishing on a whole new scale.

1994

The company was awarded ISO 9001 certification.

2005

Hartchromwerk Brunner AG joined the Parzer Group. From then on, the company benefited even more from the Group’s resources, synergies, and expanded network.

2006

In July 2006, the company built its second facility. From this point forward, the grinding shop was located directly within the company.

2025

Hartchromwerk Brunner AG has continually evolved over the past decades. Today, 75 specialists work for the company, giving your workpieces their brilliant finish.
