2026 Brunstock innovation awardYesterday I had the pleasure of presenting Mathias and the NRG Solutions AG team with the Brunstock Innovation Award in recognition of the market-leading solutions they are deploying in Switzerland.

 

Innovation takes courage—the willingness to challenge convention, trust great partnerships, and embrace the journey of building something better. NRG has done exactly that by combining our end-to-end SF₆-free AC and DC solutions with locally engineered Swiss EMS technology to deliver a truly leading solution.

 

Thank you, Mathias Andermatt and the entire NRG team, for your passion, teamwork, and trust. Together, we’re proving that the best innovations are built through strong partnerships. Congratulations!

—Chris Ball, Brunstock global executive  

The Brunstock Innovation Award is an annual award that recognises business and technology innovations performed by Brunstock representatives around the world. In the fast-paced, ever-changing electrical industries of Africa, Australia, Europe and the Middle East, renewable energy demand offers both opportunities and risks. Brunstock supports and incentivises those enterprising individuals and companies who are ready to be brave and meet this challenge.

We are creating a new way to offer flexibility, adaptability and local support for power equipment that will help get things done. Where action meets ambition is where the true test lies. So with this award we recognise the effort, relationship building, technical and communication ability of the winners and congratulate them for their innovative mindset.
