The company was founded in the year 1956 in Offenbach/Main as a commercial enterprise by Bruno Ihrig. The merchandise, at that time, were measuring instruments and components for heating installations, such as testing equipment and accessories for gas and oil burning installations. Later on the company was relocated, first to Frankfurt/Main and in 1964 to Rodgau, where the company's headquaters are at present.

Ten years later, in 1966, the company started manufacturing chemical flue gas testing instruments, so called "wet chemicals", and these were marketed and sold under the brand BRIGON. The products as CO2 indicator, smoke tester, draucght gauge, CO tester have made BRIGON name well-known nationally and internationally.

Due to the clever commercial management and vision of the owner of the company as well as the very high quality level of the products, the company has attained a top rank in the field of flue gas testing over the next years.

The increasing environmental awareness and the requirement for energy saving had a positive influence on the business in the following years. At the same time, new laws, regulations and demands applied higher standards leading to permanent optimisation and innovation.

When the management went over to the 2nd generation in 1981, the well-established company had an international reputation.

In the late 80s the company started development and production of high-quality electronic gas analysers in order to complete the product range. The first complex, multi function flue gas analyser BRIGOTRONIC, lightweight and easy to operate, made a spectacular entrance to the national market.

In 1992 a company branch BRIGON Service Centre East was opened near Leipzig, to offer better customer support and service in the Eastern Germany.

In the 1990's, development and production of test equipment was extended into security measurements segment, introducing gas leak detectors. In 1999, flue gas analyser BRIGOVISION Color is setting new standards: modern innovative and compex technology with additional fuctions for gas leak detection, air velocity measurement, humidity measurements, etc. enable the instrumneet to be truly all-in-one analyser for HVAC engineers.
