Kitchen manufacturer from Bettwil – everything from a single source
Brunner Küchen AG is a Swiss kitchen manufacturer headquartered in Bettwil in the canton of Aargau. Since 1972, the company has manufactured bespoke kitchens made to measure, building every individual piece in its own in-house joinery: from cabinet carcass and fronts to worktops and complete kitchen fittings. Production spans 3500 m² of workshop space with CNC-supported furniture manufacturing as well as an in-house paint shop with a distillation plant for solvent recovery; the internal machine fleet is powered by the company's own solar energy. Planning is carried out with 3D visualisation, and construction data is transferred digitally to the CNC machines. Materials used include FSC-certified solid wood, solid wood veneers, coated chipboard, synthetic resin surfaces, lacquer, aluminium, glass, stainless steel and concrete. The team comprises around 50 employees, including 7 apprentices. Manufacturing is complemented by consultancy, installation, kitchen renovation and customer service; the 1000 m² kitchen showroom in Bettwil displays 30 fully equipped kitchens.
