Brunner Medien

What Brunner Medien does

Brunner Medien AG is a privately held Swiss print media and publishing company headquartered in Kriens (Canton Luzern) with a secondary integrated site in Luzern following the April 2026 absorption of KRT Media AG. The company operates an end-to-end print management model branded "Printmanagement von A bis Z," covering media design, premedia, offset and digital printing, finishing, warehousing, and shipping logistics for clients in Central Switzerland. Since its founding in 1928, Brunner Medien has built a portfolio of four operational pillars (Mediengestaltung, Druckerei, Verlag, Foto und Video) and four sub-brands (Brunner-Link, Brunner Verlag, Let's Drive, and Druckdrache). Headcount is small (11–50 employees), and Roland Schnyder serves as Geschäftsführer (Managing Director).

The company's core technology is conventional offset and digital print production augmented by premedia services, including Media Asset Management, Printautomatisierung (print automation), and Personalisierung (personalized/variable-data print). The publishing arm publishes association and trade journals, parish newsletters (Pfarreiblätter), donation mailings (Spendenmailings), and traffic education materials under the "Let's Drive" brand, with e-commerce distribution via the Brunner Verlag shop. The April 2026 KRT Media AG integration added photography, high-end image editing, web, and database solution capabilities, broadening the technical surface modestly into digital services.

Brunner Medien AG generates revenue through professional services and transactional fees across printing, publishing, media design, photography/video, and logistics. Its primary customer segments are Swiss associations and foundations (religious organizations, charitable foundations), publishers of association and trade journals, and Swiss businesses requiring communication materials. The go-to-market is a direct sales model led by the Geschäftsführer, with prospective customers directed to request quotes via the website (www.bag.ch). Marketing is executed through a content blog, newsletter, Google Ads, and organic social media across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, and TikTok. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; all contracts are negotiated on a project or mandate basis.
