1948
At the age of 26, Dipl. Ing. (FH) Rudi Bremer founds company BREMER in Berlin-Schöneberg, which initially makes a name for itself in the wild 1950s with amplifiers and pickups for electric guitars.
The development and production of transformers, inductors and other inductive components follow.
1984
Son Dipl.-Ing. Thomas Bremer, born in 1955, takes over the shares and the management.
He studied electrical engineering at the Technical University of Berlin, majoring in power electronics and high-voltage engineering.
Thomas Bremer gained practical experience from an early age in his father’s company and through internships in several Siemens AG companies

BREMER Trafo becomes the specialist for customised components with a high proportion of engineering work and special requirements.
With the help of a transformer calculation program developed by BREMER itself, which is constantly being further developed in a practice-oriented manner, the customer’s requirements for the product can be implemented precisely.
1994
Purchase of a commercial property together with GERTH Transformatorenbau, the specialist for print transformers, which is also getting too crowded in Berlin.
Mr. Bremer and Mr. Gerth jointly build their own transformer factory south of Berlin in a beautifully landscaped business park.
1996
The company moves into the new building in the Brandenburg Park in Genshagen with direct highway access. Now more efficient processes, expanded manufacturing possibilities and new process technologies are possible as an investment in the future.

Until 2012 BREMER is a regular exhibitor at the international trade fairs:
- Electronica (trade fair for the electronics industry) in Munich
- Innotrans (international trade fair for transport technology) in Berlin
2008 Siemens shows here a BREMER inductor in its “Sitras” energy storage system, which is used to operate a tram in Lisbon without overhead lines.
2012
The joint test laboratory of BREMER and GERTH is certified by the VDE (Association of German Electrical Engineers) for the Test Data Acceptance Program. This allows measurements to be carried out in-house that would otherwise only be carried out at the VDE in Offenbach.
2015
Series production of
- Sinusoidal filter inductors for Siemens “Siestorage” energy storage system
- Voltage transformers for GE (General Electric) for wind power (large-scale production over several years)
2018
Expansion of the product range and increase in own vertical range of manufacture: Establishment and equipping of an electronics area with device construction.
QM certification according to new standard: DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 by TÜV Rheinland.
