Brunata A/S is a Clean Tech company based in Herlev, Denmark. It operates in the field of energy metering, consumption-based billing, and building-related data services. Brunata is part of the Minol–Zenner-Group.[2]
History
Brunata was founded in Denmark in 1917. Its early activities included the development of systems for allocating heating costs in residential buildings, which led to the establishment of the company Constantin Brun A/S.[3]
In 1950, Constantin Brun A/S merged with the Swiss company ATA. The new company was named Brunata, combining elements of both original names. During the following decades, Brunata expanded its services, issued licences[4] and in the mid-1990s, the company introduced its first wireless meters, allowing for remote reading.[3]
Starting in 2005, Brunata began the digitalisation of its consumption accounts, enabling residents and property administrators to access consumption data online.[3] In 2018, Brunata was acquired by the German family-owned company Minol. Since then, it has been part of the Minol-Zenner-Group.[5] The takeover made the Group the third-largest heating services provider and heating cost biller in Europe.[6]
Company structure
Brunata is part of the Minol-Zenner-Group, a corporate group active in the field of metering and building-related digital services.[7] The group is present in multiple European countries and other international markets.[2] In 2024, Brunata A/S generated revenues of DKK 366.7 million.[1]
Activities

As part of its infrastructure, the company uses a network based on wireless communication technology to support the integration of connected devices in buildings.[2][6][8] In addition, Brunata is active in the field of Internet of Things (IoT), providing metering and sensor technology, wireless data transmission infrastructure, and platforms for data processing and management to enable smart monitoring and use of building data.[9]
