The Business Unit Komet Medical.

The company Gebr. Brasseler and its brand Komet were founded as early as 1923. To this day, the company has been owned by the founding family. With a shop floor of over than 480,000 sqft and more than 860 production units, Komet counts among the largest manufacturers in this sector worldwide. Another factor that decisively contributes to the success of the enterprise is its highly qualified, dedicated staff who know their markets and constantly strengthen the company and its products. Gebr. Brasseler has been developing and manufacturing motor-powered precision instruments for use in surgical drive systems since 1988. The comprehensive range includes surgical saw blades, rasps, burs, cutters, craniotomies and twist drills as well as diamond abrasives. The instruments comprised in the above listed product groups are used in

  • Orthopaedics/traumatology
  • Sternotomy
  • Minimally invasive percutaneous foot surgery
  • ENT and neuro surgery
  • Oral maxillofacial surgery
  • Ophthalmology
  • Podiatry | Chiropody | Nail care

The medical technology market is faced with many strict regulatory requirements. Consequently, these regulations present many obstacles prior to market entry. As a self-contained business unit within Gebr. Brasseler, Komet Medical is able to overcome these obstacles with its close cooperation between sales, product management, regulatory affairs and engineering. This cooperation proves to be an important advantage to both ourselves and our customers from the medical technology industry, resulting in a relatively short “time to market”.

Thanks to the all-encompassing partnership with our customers that is reflected in all our transactions, Komet Medical can offer its clientele a convenient all-in-one product and service package.

The founding family.

Innovation is the heart and soul of our corporate tradition.

My father and our uncles, the Brasseler brothers, who founded the company more than 90 years ago, were competent, quality conscious and above all passionately creative. They not only improved existing products and created groundbreaking new instruments for the dental sector, but also implemented pioneering production processes and optimized the distribution channels.

This is what we are still doing today, however on a much larger scale. Brasseler is not only an established innovation leader with one of the most comprehensive range of rotary instruments and systems in the dental sector worldwide, but also a renowned supplier of instruments for general surgery, dental technology and custom made tools. What’s more, Brasseler’s special know-how, precision and quality are also highly appreciated in the jewellery industry.

The success of the company is based on absolute reliability and the trust that we put in our staff, our customers and – last but not least – ourselves. We put a lot of thought into everything we do. Whatever we do, we do it right.
