Consistency & Progress
In 1935 Hans Brunner and Thomas Hauner registered a business in Munich for the production of confectionery supplies. Due to limited space, our founders had to look for a suitable production site soon and found it in Glonn, just outside Munich, where we still produce. Our success story began in an unused barn, which was renovated with untiring diligence by our Brunner employees at that time. Even at that time, know-how, teamwork, commitment and reliability were our strengths.
The young Rudi Schwaiger was given his uncle's company in 1980 and he is still our managing director and owner of the company Hans Brunner GmbH. Today, a total of more than 8500 square meters of space is available for the production of plastic parts.
With 6 high-precision injection moulding machines and several thermopresses, we are able to control the production process optimally in order to produce sophisticated chocolate moulds of the highest quality. We are now about 120 specialists who develop, produce and internationally distribute the chocolate moulds at a single production site.
Since 2006 Markus Gebhart has been supporting us as second managing director and the children of managing director Rudi Schwaiger, Stephanie and Christoph, are also part of our team.

Managing Director and owner Rudi Schwaiger will leave the management and ownership in 2024, to hand over the reins to his children.
