Milestones


The Diesel Engine Period
The company manufactured low-pressure diesel engines and controllable pitch propellers for fishing vessels. In this demanding market, Brunvoll developed a reputation for robust construction and reliability as well as innovation: Brunvoll was one of the first engine manufacturers to use roller bearings for the crankshaft.

The Thruster Period
In 1964 the local fishermen, the Gjendemsjø brothers, came up with the idea to install tunnel thrusters in their new fishing vessel under construction at a local shipyard. The Gjendemsjøs were well aware of the abilities and will for innovation at Brunvoll after being a long term customer and user of the Brunvoll semi-diesel engines. So they approached Brunvoll with their thruster idea and asked them to design such units—and Brunvoll embraced this brilliant idea.

Brunvoll aquires Scana Propulsion
In March 2017, Brunvoll AS signed an agreement with Incus Investor ASA to acquire all the shares in Scana Propulsion AS, including subsidiaries Scana Volda AS and Scana Mar-El AS in Norway and three sales companies located in the United States, Singapore and China. The acquisition was a strategic move from Brunvoll’s side, where the aim was to create a win – win situation for both companies with the possibility to offer our customers even better and comprehensive solutions for both propulsion and operation of advanced vessels. Customers demand complete and comprehensive solutions, with low life cycle costs and energy efficiency.
