Bramidan & Presto AS

What Bramidan & Presto AS does

Bramidan & Presto AS is a Norwegian private limited company headquartered in Tønsberg, Vestfold, that sells, rents, and services waste compaction and baling equipment for Norwegian businesses. The company is the exclusive Norwegian distributor for two complementary equipment brands: Bramidan vertical balers, designed and manufactured at the parent facility in Bramming, Denmark, and Presto compactors and horizontal balers. The core product range spans small B-series balers with 3-5 ton press force up to heavy-duty X-series balers with cross-cylinder architecture delivering up to 50 tons of press force, alongside mobile and stationary compactors, channel balers, EPS screw compactors (via a RUNI partnership), weighing solutions, waste coolers, and container tipping systems. All Bramidan vertical balers are EN 16500 safety compliant.

The business model combines capital equipment sales with recurring service revenue, short- and long-term rental/leasing with bundled maintenance, and consumables (fiber strapping, steel wire, sorting bags). Pricing is consultative rather than list-based: the sales team, organized by Norwegian territory, performs a 10-year Total Cost of Ownership analysis to justify the investment, supported by a 2-week free trial offer. The proprietary BRA-IN (Bramidan Intelligence) IoT platform provides remote fill-level, bale count, machine status, and service notifications, and is being deployed across the installed base.

Bramidan & Presto serves enterprise and mid-market customers across retail and shopping centers, manufacturing and industrial facilities, logistics, healthcare, hospitality, construction, waste management, food and agriculture, and gas station and convenience verticals. Named reference customers include Thon Senter Steinkjer (6 Presto compactors), Sauer-Danfoss/Danfoss (10 Bramidan balers), ReMadrass (Presto Megapress and Bramidan X30 for mattress recycling), Hilton Arc de Triomphe Paris, and Poul Tarp. The company has 8 employees, a small direct sales team, and operates within the broader Bramidan Nordic distribution network that reaches 35+ countries globally.
