As early as the beginning of the 20th century, Brunvoll Motorfabrik, which was founded at that time, produced the first diesel engines and propellers for fishing vessels. Based on an idea of the Gjendemsjø brothers, two local fishermen, the company began developing and manufacturing tunnel thrusters in 1964 – still a common principle of marine propulsion. Today’s Brunvoll Group, based in Molde, Norway, stands more than ever for powerful marine propulsion systems, reliable gearboxes and innovative control electronics. Around 520 employees at five production locations ensure smooth processes from development to production and on through to service.
Brunvoll has been relying on highly automated processes in its production for several years – including an autonomous manufacturing solution comprising an NTX 3000 and robot automation, which DMG MORI designed for the company in 2022.
