Brokkology is the study of Brokk customers, owners, and operators and how they utilize Brokk machines, and this is the landing place for their stories. We call these users “Brokkologists” – those who have defined the uses for Brokk machines. Their experience and stories will help others to know how the Brokk world began, how it has matured, and its direction toward the future. Welcome to a community for current and former users to share their stories and insights to learn from one another and grow our businesses. Brokkologists change how they approach and manage their projects, and focus on how their work is done. Their stories need to be told, and will benefit future Brokkologists with their own project goals. Discover these amazing stories on our podcast.
