What Brunex does

Brunex (Türenfabrik Brunegg AG) is a privately held Swiss manufacturer of custom-made doors and wall systems, founded in 1954 and headquartered in Brunegg, Aargau, with a secondary service office in Bulle covering French-speaking Switzerland. The company produces interior doors, exterior doors, sliding doors, frame systems, and wall systems engineered to carry multiple simultaneous functional certifications: fire protection (EI30, EI60), acoustic insulation (up to Rw 53 dB on the Confort 88), flood protection (up to 1,500 mm water level), burglary resistance (RC2/RC3/RC4), and radiation shielding. Brunex employs 51-100 staff, sources FSC-certified wood, operates an in-house Wagner/Adler coating facility commissioned in 2022, and holds eco1 and eco2 certifications from ecobau qualifying its products for Minergie-ECO and SNBS-compliant buildings.

Revenue is generated through a three-tier go-to-market: (1) direct enterprise sales to architects and construction projects via a regional field sales team covering all Swiss cantons; (2) a nationwide network of 30+ licensed carpenter partners (Schreiner & Holzbauer) who manufacture certified door elements under BRUNEX license; and (3) distribution through specialized wood-material retailers (Fachhandel) including Artibois, Gétaz-Miauton, HG Commerciale, and Kuratle & Jaecker. Pricing follows a quote-based model with catalog guide prices, a 3% list surcharge, 2% early-payment discount within 10 days (net 30), and 10% express-delivery surcharge for orders under 8 working days. Digital channels include the myBRUNEX configuration and ordering portal, TÜR24 stock assortment tool, OpenBIM door models, and the Opendevis SIA-451-compliant tender assistant.

The customer base spans project-level engagements across hospitality (Klausenpass-Betriebe AG), healthcare (Centre neurologique de Langenthal), education (Campus Le Vivier, Primarschule Pont-la-Ville), banking (Banque Raiffeisen Assens), and public-sector clients (Hôtel de ville de Fribourg). The company is led by CEO Martin Eisele with Markus Strebel (Finance & Personnel) and Stefan Schnell (Development); ownership is private with no disclosed external investors, parent entity, or M&A activity, and operations remain entirely domestic to Switzerland.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Masonite International: Global door manufacturer with strong residential and commercial interior door lines. Comparable on the wood/wood-composite interior door manufacturing axis; less focused than BRUNEX on multi-functional certified combinations (fire + acoustic + flood + RC).
• Jeld-Wen: One of the world's largest manufacturers of interior and exterior doors and windows. Comparable as a global door manufacturer serving residential and light commercial channels, though BRUNEX's certified multi-functional niche is narrower than Jeld-Wen's volume-driven offering.
• ASSA ABLOY: Swedish global leader in access solutions including doors, door hardware, and security-certified openings. Comparable for fire-rated, security, and acoustic door systems with global reach, but operates as a broad incumbent rather than a Swiss specialty manufacturer.
• Dormakaba: Swiss-listed global provider of access, door, and entrance solutions headquartered in Switzerland. Comparable as a Switzerland-based incumbent in doors and access systems serving commercial and institutional projects.
• Forster Profilsysteme (voestalpine): Swiss/European manufacturer of steel and stainless steel door, window, and profile systems with strong fire-rated and security ratings. Comparable for certified, project-grade door systems in Switzerland; differs by steel-vs-wood material focus.
• Hörmann: Germany-based global leader in doors and frames for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. Comparable because it competes in fire-rated, acoustic, and security-certified door systems across Europe, including the Swiss market, but at much larger scale and a broader product portfolio.
• Prüm Türen (Prüm-Türenwerk): German manufacturer of interior doors and frames with strong European distribution. Comparable for wood-based interior door manufacturing and project-channel distribution in Europe; less specialized than BRUNEX on fire/flood/Radiation combination certifications.

Direct peers

• RWD Schlatter AG: Swiss manufacturer of industrial and special doors (including fire-rated and large-format applications). Closely comparable as a domestic Swiss door specialist competing in functional, certified door segments with similar project-driven customers.
• EgoKiefer (Arbonia Group): Swiss windows and doors brand under Arbonia, a Swiss building products group. Comparable because it serves Swiss residential and commercial projects with certified, locally manufactured window/door systems in the same domestic channels.

Emerging players

• JB Kind Doors: UK-based independent manufacturer of interior and exterior doors with a custom/specification focus. Comparable as a smaller specialty door manufacturer competing on certified, custom-made ranges for project and partner channels, though with limited Swiss market overlap.
