What STRABAG does

STRABAG AG is the German operating subsidiary of Vienna-based STRABAG SE and is described as Germany's Nr. 1 in traffic engineering (Verkehrswegebau), with 11,000+ employees in that segment and over 100 years of operating history consolidated under a single brand since 2015. The company's core offering is end-to-end infrastructure construction services spanning road, rail, bridge, tunnel, airport runway, canal, pipeline, and special construction, supported by an in-house building materials division (Deutsche Asphalt, Mineral Abbau, ROBA Transportbeton) and proprietary digital tools including BIM 5D® (Building Information Modeling extended to schedule/cost/resource dimensions), the Betty concrete road construction process tool, ClAir® low-emission asphalt, LEAN.Construction methodology, and 3D-Mapping-Services developed through the TPA competence centre.

Revenue is generated primarily through project-based construction contracts awarded via competitive public tendering, negotiated contracts, and public-private partnership (ÖPP) concessions, with revenue recognised over time as projects are executed. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting federal, state, and municipal government clients (Autobahn GmbH des Bundes, DB InfraGO AG, TransnetBW, Tennet TSO, DEGES) and large industrial customers (Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, BASF, Fraport, MVV Energie). Customer segments split between Government Infrastructure and Industrial/Commercial Enterprises, with a smaller Energy Sector exposure focused on grid expansion (SuedLink, SüdOstLink) and energy-transition infrastructure. DGNB-certified 'Nachhaltige Baustelle' sustainable construction practices and a 2040 carbon neutrality target provide differentiation in publicly tendered bids.
