What Heinrich & Bock does

Heinrich & Bock is a French manufacturer of precast concrete products for outdoor landscaping and building construction, headquartered in Steinbourg, Alsace. Founded in 1969 by Marcel Heinrich and Robert Bock, the company operates three production sites across Alsace (Steinbourg, Krautergersheim, Wittenheim) and an on-site 3,500 m² exhibition park, exporting products throughout Europe. It is structured as a privately held SAS (Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 par Actions Simplifi\u00e9e) with share capital of \u20ac3,201,430, led by Patrick Heinrich as legal representative, and is generally regarded as a family-owned SME in the 51\u2013100 employee range.

The company's product portfolio spans three verticals: (i) residential exterior amenities \u2014 pavers, ecological draining pavers (including the patented KEOPS ENVIRO self-locking system), slabs and pool coping, outdoor stairs, walls and coping, edging, palisades, drainage channels, bollards, and planters; (ii) public works and infrastructure \u2014 certified pavers, curbs, bus-Stop edges, drains and accessibility products; and (iii) building products \u2014 hollow blocks, formwork elements, angles, lintels and hollow-core slabs. Production relies on multiple surface-treatment processes \u2014 shot blasting, flame treatment, water-jetting, tumbling, brushing, imprinting, and split-face finishing \u2014 delivered under NF EN 1338/1339/1340 with CE marking and FDES environmental declarations. Documented performance exceeds benchmarks (e.g., bend strength up to 7.0 MPa vs 3.5\u20135.0 MPa required; splitting tensile strength up to 6.0 MPa vs >3.6 MPa required), supporting public-works specification.

Commercially, Heinrich & Bock sells exclusively through an authorized reseller and distributor network across France and Europe, supplemented by a dealer-locator on its bilingual (French/German) website and the Ilodesign 3D visualization tool for prospective buyers. Customer segments are split between individual homeowners (long-tail via distributors) and public-works/local-authority buyers (typically procured against NF/CE specifications). An ancillary maintenance and jointing line is offered through a co-distribution partnership with Techniseal. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is set daily on the order date.
