What Schleith does

Schleith GmbH Baugesellschaft is a family-owned, third-generation construction group headquartered in Waldshut-Tiengen, Germany, founded in 1916/1920 as a sawmill with transport business by brothers Karl and Friedrich Schleith. The company operates across the full civil engineering and building construction value chain — Tief-, Erd- und Straßenbau (civil engineering, earthworks, road construction), Spezialtiefbau (special foundation engineering), Asphaltbau (asphalt construction), Ingenieurbau (structural engineering including bridges and tunnels), Rohbau (rough construction), Schlüsselfertigbau (turnkey general contracting), and Rückbau (demolition). Supporting activities include Stoffstrommanagement (material flow management), raw material extraction, and quarry operations, plus a wholly-owned logistics arm (S-Logistik GmbH & Co. KG) and concrete arm (Mobil Beton GmbH & Co. KG). The group holds ISO 9001 (since 2010), ISO 14001 (2025), OHSAS 18001/DIN EN 45001, and SCC certification for demolition.

Revenue is generated primarily through project-based construction contracts awarded via public tendering (including EU-wide procurement for municipalities, counties, and state agencies) and direct negotiation with private developers. The customer base is anchored in public-sector infrastructure and building construction across Baden-Württemberg (e.g., Landkreis Waldshut, Stadt Freiburg, Stadt Bad Säckingen), supplemented by enterprise clients (TransnetBW, Europa-Park, Rheinkraftwerk Rheinfelden). A separate real estate arm — SCHLEITH Immobilien GmbH — develops and sells residential and mixed-use projects (Dock 27 Mannheim, MCH 2 Waldshut, TRE ZÉN Freiburg, Klettgau Carré Tiengen, LinzgauDuo Frickingen, Schillerquartett Rheinfelden), generating one-time sales revenue from end-buyers and investors. Distribution runs through nine regional offices and direct enterprise sales; pricing is contract-by-contract and not publicly disclosed. Recent strategic activity includes the announced April 2026 acquisition of Singler GmbH to bolster the demolition and material flow business.
