ZÜBLIN acquires Austrian subsidiary of BAUER Spezialtiefbau and expands local presence
21 May 2025
-
- Complete acquisition of BAUER Spezialtiefbau Ges.m.b.H, Austria
- Expansion of the pile portfolio and brand presence
The STRABAG subsidiary ZÜBLIN Spezialtiefbau Ges.m.b.H. and BAUER Spezialtiefbau Ges.m.b.H., Austria, will be joining forces in the future. With the acquisition of BAUER Spezialtiefbau Ges.m.b.H, ZÜBLIN is further expanding its expertise in this segment and bundling its offering for customers in Austria.
"This acquisition is an important step in our growth strategy. By merging with BAUER Spezialtiefbau Austria, we can deepen our expertise in the field of pile construction and we are very pleased to welcome the new team to our ranks," explains Reinhard Kerschner, member of the ZÜBLIN Management Board.
Stronger presence in Austria
While ZÜBLIN Spezialtiefbau has been active in the market in recent years with major projects involving technologies such as diaphragm walls, grouting and groundwater drainage, BAUER Spezialtiefbau Ges.m.b.H has established itself particularly in the field of piles. The bundling of these core competencies will enable ZÜBLIN to respond even more flexibly to customer needs in Austria in the future - from smaller regional projects to complex large construction sites. The integration will thus further expand ZÜBLIN Spezialtiefbau's presence in Austria. From 2026, full integration will take place under the ZÜBLIN Spezialtiefbau brand.
"For strategic reasons, we decided not to pursue specialist foundation engineering in Austria any further and therefore looked for a good solution for our company and the people. We have found this with ZÜBLIN and wish the team every success for the future," says Peter Hingott, Executive Board Member of BAUER AG.
The closing has already taken place. The parties have agreed not to disclose the purchase price.
