In 2005, the Bresser Messier Line of telescopes for the intermediate astronomy enthusiast was launched.[4] In the US the distribution firm Bresser LLC was founded in 2010.

In 2013, the legal form and the company name were changed to Bresser GmbH. At the beginning of 2014, the product range was expanded with the takeover of the Dutch photo studio outfitter Folux B.V. expanded. Bresser has been the exclusive distributor of the American Lunt Engineering since 2015.[5]
