In 1898 Brüninghaus joined his family's company, the Brüninghaus steelworks in Werdohl. He became director and board member of the steel works, which was renamed a stock corporation in 1908. During the First World War he was not drafted because of the production of raw materials essential to the war effort. Under his aegis, Brüninghaus started spring production in 1919, formed an interest group with the German-Luxemburgish Mining and Hütten-AG in 1920 and thus joined the United Steelworks in 1926 and the Deutsche Edelstahlwerke in 1927 .
