Full throttle

A Volkswagen camper van. What else? It was the 1970s after all.

This was the means of transport young German couple Rolf and Helena Brunner chose to complete their mission – to deliver an order to a customer that their employer at the time considered impossible. And, with it, they drove towards their entrepreneurial future.

Fast forward over 40 years and the eponymous company they founded – now with the second generation of Brunners on board, namely Dr Marc Brunner, Philip Brunner and Tina Lüdemann (née Brunner) – is still anything but stationary. Made in Germany and made with German expertise and curiosity of mind, its portfolio of products marries a high design sensibility with an innovation-led approach to answering client and user needs.
