The metal construction company Heinrich Brenner is a classic Swiss SME. It has grown from a mechanical workshop and locksmith’s shop into a company that today covers the broad spectrum of a metal construction company and still has exclusive specialities. For example, the Brenner metal construction company in Steg is the only one in the world that manufactures the electric vehicles that are widely used in the tourist resorts of the Valais from aluminium.

The company celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2008. The company’s philosophy has remained unchanged over the years: precision craftsmanship, adherence to deadlines, customer- and demand-oriented production, optimum quality products in the interest of the customer – these were and are the company’s strengths. Today, the company’s core competence is complemented by state-of-the-art know-how and creativity in conception and planning.

Our quality is your future
We are a construction company with a long tradition and have been providing punctual, high-quality services in all areas of construction, particularly building construction and civil engineering, for more than 75 years. We realise both simple and complex construction projects and guarantee transport services to the right place at the right time. We offer selected market services in other construction-related business areas.

Tunnel infrastructure projects are serious business for us, but we thoroughly enjoy them!

We tackle every operational and safety equipment project with passion and are known for our rapid and pragmatic project management.

We benefit from our excellent networking with the parties involved – with clients such as FEDRO, the cantonal civil engineering offices and railway operators, as well as with ETH Zurich, other planners and specialists.

Thanks to our participation in research projects and our involvement in advisory committees, we are always “up to date”. The fact that we are very familiar with the interpretation of current regulations and authorisation procedures also speeds up project implementation. Direct contacts and short decision-making channels also have a positive effect on costs.
