The Brantner history

The story of the Austrian family business Brantner, headquartered in Krems an der Donau (Lower Austria), begins when Walter Brantner senior (born in 1910, died 1992) founds a cab and later travel agency and bus company.

The business areas Waste Management and Municipal Services are founded. Services are offered to the first municipalities in Austria (Lower Austria).
