Bruner

The year was 1958, Eisenhower was President of the United States and Wayne Bruner of Columbus, Ohio founded a little mechanical firm he called Bruner Corporation. Business was conducted in a small cement block building without computers, faxes and cell phones. Wayne Bruner was a "hands-on, handshake-type contractor from the old school, business was done with a handshake instead of a contract. Up until 1980 Wayne did much of the work himself assisted by his 2 plumbing service employees. In 1980 Wayne Bruner was ready for retirement and Bruner Corporation was purchased by F. Randolph Sleeper, thus entering an age of change and growth. Sleeper's immediate goal was to build up the contract work. Some years later Mark Wenger, now President, was hired to develop the Bruner Service Division. Wenger recalls that, "There wasn't much to oversee at first, in fact we started with no technicians." Since 1980, under Sleeper & Wenger's leadership, Bruner has continuously focused on company efficiency, growth and employee morale. All this hard work has paid off as Bruner is consistently recognized as a leading employer of plumbers and pipefitters in Central Ohio and one of the most recognized mechanical contractors in the area. Business First of Columbus ranked Bruner Corporation as one of the largest mechanical retrofit & HVAC service contractors in Central Ohio.
