CHRISTIAN BERNER TECH TRADEYOUR LEADING PARTNER FOR TECHNICAL SOLUTIONShunter hawkstruFFLe PIGsteChnOLOGY FInDersIn our sector, a lot of people call what we do technical trading. But we think that sounds far too limiting. It’s like saying that a hunter hawk is just a bird or a truffle pig is just a pig. Our mission is to use our extensive expertise and experience to search among carefully selected products and find the absolute best technical solution for you. There isn’t really any good word for that. So we coined one.

Most of us drink water that has been purified in a water treatment plant, often using chlorine. But we have another solution that does not require the addition of any chemicals – our certified uV systems. effective low-pressure lamps kill bacteria, viruses and parasites with ultraviolet light at 254 nm wavelengths. a uV system is eco-friendly, easy to maintain and does not affect the smell or taste of the water. we also have a number of other technical solutions to perfect the use of water in its various roles as energy carrier, propellant, transporter, purifier or precision cutter. reFIneD naturaL FOrCeantioxidants are one of nature’s miracle cures. Because they counteract premature aging and certain types of cytolysis, companies in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics sectors naturally want to enrich their products with these little benefactors. One of the things used to do this is red algae. the trick is to preserve the beneficial qualities of the antioxidants during extraction and manufacturing. a spray dryer can help with this while simultaneously making the process more efficient. Drying is just one example of an important intermediate step that boosts the value of the end product. But there are many more. we have delivered validated solutions for chemical and biological synthesis, and for the processing and manufacturing of solid and liquid dosage.© Gea niroeverything we offer has been carefully selected (which means you have saved days of work already). we also know that many of our customers have greater needs than may be specified in an inquiry, such as to cut costs, increase efficiency, improve quality or reduce environmental impact. that is something we always keep in the back of our minds. so whether you need a single component or have a more complicated problem, we are here to give you quick and expert guidance.If you’d like to save even more time, we can offer you support throughout the entire process from feasibility studies and system development to design, assembly, installation and commissioning, to regular service and preventive maintenance.

Not too bitter. Just really, really good. A chocolatier creates a delectable culinary experience with a keen sense of intuition and a personal touch. But how can this intuitive flair be transferred over to an industrial process? The secret lies in the right equipment for measuring and mixing. And in ensuring that all instruments and tools used in the manufacturing process work together to meet stringent demands for cleanliness, raw material utilisation and energy consumption. We know what process equipment yields optimal results – right through to the attractive packaging. The only thing we can’t do is come up with that winning recipe for you.eVerY LIttLe BIt Lower energy consumption, better accessibility and minimal maintenance. These, in a nutshell, are the demands from the paper and pulp industry. But as luck would have it, there are many ways to make improvements: inductive rolls dry the paper faster, the right type of wear parts make production run more smoothly, and our technical solutions in vacuum systems, water purification and process control reduce energy consumption. Improving multiple components of a production line can lead to huge cost savings. And the fact that these initiatives will also help people and the environment is a very nice bonus indeed.the JOurneYhas OnLYJust BeGunwhether or not norwegian entrepreneur Christian Berner actually liked beer is not something the stories tell us. But what we do know is that at the tender age of 16, he was already a skilled hand at business, languages and taking care of the foreign suppliers at the import firm he worked at. It wasn’t long before he was given the assignment to investigate the swedish market, and he quickly found a new opportunity. at just 20 years old, he founded Christian Berner aB to import technical solutions to breweries in Gothenburg. the initiative was a success and the business grew quickly throughout the nordic region. Productivity at the breweries increased and who knows, maybe the beer even got better.that same zest for technical discoveries, a feeling for quality and the ability to see new contexts and opportunities are traits that have continued to characterise Christian Berner to this day. the big difference is that these days, there are many, many more technical products and services out there. But, as we prefer to see it, there are also many, many more opportunities to find better solutions for our customers.at the same time, the world has become more complex over the years and there are more things to consider. the environment, for one. when we evaluate suppliers and products, the environment is an important consideration. Do they contribute to good resource management and as little environmental impact as possible? Or to helping make our customers’ businesses more sustainable? we also constantly strive to make our own workplaces, transports and processes more environmentally friendly.as much as we want to produce the right solution for our customers, we also want to do it in the right way. this way of thinking has always been an integral part of this family- owned company. Our code of ethics supports us in this undertaking. and this code is not something we just read and forget – it is something we constantly strive to live by.Christian Berner was founded in 1897.

The material is part of the solutions we have developed for a range of Nordic opera houses in collaboration with leading acousticians.
