We like niches, as this is precisely where we can best develop ourselves and the poten­tial of our products. We are the partner for custom-tailored chem­ical solu­tions. We’re always very close to our customers and the major changes in the indus­tries of the future. We provide the crucial connec­tion across many areas of applic­a­tion – and we have been doing this for more than 150 years. Chem­istry is every­where in our world and it is anchored in the things we need daily. We offer a broad range of high-perform­ance chem­ical products for a better daily life, for mega-trends, and future tech­no­lo­gies. We optimize our products with our own research and think ahead for the benefit of our customers. We analyze and test them in our labor­at­ories and fine-tune them in our own Applic­a­tion Tech­no­logy organ­iz­a­tion, and finally we synthesize and blend them in our produc­tion facility at our Heil­bronn site. Short paths, empathy, and inex­haust­ible innov­ative power are our distin­guishing char­ac­ter­istics. At Bruegge­mann, quality and quality assur­ance are more than a promise – they are our passion. Natur­ally we seek and find the niche not only at our histor­ical loca­tion in Heil­bronn. We are family busi­ness that focuses on continuity but also dynamics, and that builds strong roots and world­wide distri­bu­tion networks. Loca­tions in Germany, the USA, and Hong Kong also assure our success at this.

We develop bio-based chemistries for the Coatings Industry. We work hard to create products for paint and coatings that are the best they can be in every way. Products, that are innovating, easy to use, and highly performing. And the same passion for innovation goes into how we think about environmental responsibility. We know CO2 ranks among the most important greenhouse gasses that influence the way the climate is changing. It's a real problem. As an architectural coating producer, we know we use energy and material, which in turn generates greenhouse gas emissions. That's part of the problem we can help solve, by finding less energy consuming production process, using bio-based raw materials for waterborne coatings for instance. In 2012, we evaluated the greenhouse gas emissions caused by our business activities, to have an overview of where and how we can adopt suitable measures. We are proud of the products we develop and the way we make them. But we know we can still do better... we work on that everyday... we strive to leave a cleaner planet for the next generation ... the sooner, the better...
