The story behind
the name Jernbro

BUILT ON experience and knowledge

The name Jernbro comes from our long-standing experience in industrial services. The word bro, meaning bridge, represents the way we share knowledge with our customers, helping to support and connect with them. This idea of building bridges is also reflected in our logo.

INSPIRED by industrial history

There’s a historical aspect to the name. It can be linked to the late 18th century, when the world’s first iron bridge was built in the village of Ironbridge in southwest England. The bridge, designed and opened in 1781 under the leadership of Abraham Darby III, spans the River Severn and became a symbol of the early Industrial Revolution. Still standing today, it represents innovation, engineering courage and the beginning of modern industrial development.
