Simplifying onboard detection since 1962
Our goal has been the same for the past 60 years: Your peace of mind at sea. Through a strategic partnership, we aim to let you focus on your core operations without having to worry about detection logistics and administration.
The Bruusgaard team is based in Sandvika, Norway, where we run large-scale detection administration and logistics for vessels and companies worldwide.
Legacy
The Bruusgaard legacy dates back to 19th-century Norwegian shipping, inspiring the establishment of our company in 1962 by a descendant of that seafaring lineage. Initially, we focused on gas detection, securing rights to sell Riken products.
As Norway’s oil and gas industries boomed in the 70s and 80s, Bruusgaard became a trusted name in safety, delivering reliable equipment to meet the growing demand.
Solution
In 2000, we launched The Bruusgaard System, shifting from a product-focused company to a solutions-driven partner. This innovative system brought together onboard calibration, crew training, and ongoing support, streamlining operations and improving safety.
Our mission became clear: provide tailored, efficient solutions for every vessel’s unique needs, reducing costs while enhancing safety and compliance.
Future
Today, our reach spans across the Nordics, Europe, and Asia, offering an expanded portfolio of instruments for personal, environmental, and operational safety.
Acquired by Addtech in 2020, we continue to innovate, making quality safety equipment accessible to all, while upholding the heritage of trust and innovation that has defined our name for generations.
Values
We are driven by a commitment to protection, ease of use, and flexibility—here are our core values:
Safety
At the core of everything we do is the commitment to protecting lives, assets, and the environment. Our solutions ensure that vessels meet the highest safety standards, providing peace of mind through reliable, accurate equipment and support.
Simplicity
We believe that effective solutions should be easy to implement and use. By streamlining operations and reducing complexity, we empower crews to focus on their core tasks, knowing that safety and compliance are taken care of.
Scalability
Our solutions are designed to grow with your needs. Whether you operate a small vessel or an entire fleet, we provide customizable, efficient systems that adapt to your operational scale, ensuring consistent performance across the board.
What our customers say about us
"Bruusgaard's solution covers the whole scope of gas detection, which is very much preferable to the other suppliers. They take a workload off the crew by making sure everything is right."
