What Brochier Gruppe does

Brochier Gruppe is a privately held, family-owned German technical building and plant technology (TGA) group headquartered in Nuremberg, founded in 1870 and currently in its fifth generation of family ownership. The group operates through 18+ wholly-owned subsidiary companies that collectively deliver the full spectrum of technical building services: heating, sanitary, ventilation, air conditioning, electrical engineering, industrial pipeline construction, refrigeration, water/wastewater technology, separator systems, cleanroom technology, building automation, solar/PV, and technical building management. Notable technical differentiators include BIM-based TGA planning for cross-disciplinary coordination, trenchless pipe rehabilitation methodology, and GMP-compliant cleanroom installations for pharmaceutical, healthcare, and food-industry customers.

The company serves three primary customer segments: private residential property owners in the Nuremberg and Munich metropolitan regions; municipal, public, and private housing associations requiring portfolio-wide energy renovation; and industrial/commercial enterprises across southern Germany, with one subsidiary (BROCHIER Anlagen- und Rohrtechnik) providing nationwide industrial plant services. Revenue is generated through project-based contracts, service/maintenance agreements, and custom-quoted installations, with pricing determined per project scope. Distribution is exclusively direct via subsidiary field-sales and service teams, supported by a web-based project configurator that captures inbound leads and routes them to the appropriate operating company. The group employs over 700 people and describes itself as a market leader in southern Germany for safe and economical building and plant technology.
