history
In 1934 the Ernst Bröer aluminum foundry was founded in Hagen-Haspe. In 1960, the foundry was transferred to the two sons of the company founder, Jochen and Peter Bröer. The first butterfly valves were manufactured and sold here in 1970. In 1972 valve production was separated from the foundry and EBRO Armaturen was founded as an independent production and sales company. In the 1980s, the first branches were opened in the Netherlands, France and Austria, as well as a sister company in Switzerland. The development and production of pneumatic actuators began in Switzerland in 1989. In the same year, production of the electric drives began at the headquarters in Hagen. In 1991 the production facility in Thailand was opened. The Swedish valve manufacturer Stafsjö Valves was acquired in 2005. In 2009 Ms. Lydia Bröer joined the management as managing partner. Additional branches are opened in the UAE (Dubai) and Chile. The generation change was successfully completed in 2012: Ms. Bröer became the main owner of the Bröer Group.
