What August Luecking does

August Lücking GmbH & Co. KG is a family-owned German building materials manufacturer founded in 1899, headquartered in Paderborn with production and administration in Warburg-Bonenburg. The company produces clay bricks (Ziegelplus, Ziegelpur, Thermo Plan MZ80G, Planziegel W75), prefabricated concrete elements (Doppelwand double walls, Plattendecke slab ceilings, stair systems, Ziegelelemente story-high brick panels), and an expanding portfolio of sustainable products including Lehmsteine (clay bricks), Stampflehmwände (rammed earth wall elements), and composite ceiling systems combining wood, clay, and concrete. It also offers the Lücking Baupaket — an all-in-one construction package bundling bricks, concrete elements, and services — and pursues energy-efficiency positioning through the Konzept 2226 'house without heating' concept.

The company sells directly to construction companies, craftsmen, and private builders across the tri-border region of North Rhine-Westphalia, Hesse, and Lower Saxony, with a digital sales and delivery-tracking portal (luecking.portal.brick-it.de) launched in 2024 supplementing traditional direct delivery from its production facility. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of building materials under standard B2B 14-day payment terms; pricing is quote-based and project-specific with no publicly disclosed tiers. Ownership sits under the family holding Thater-Industrie-Beteiligungs GmbH (general partner), with management led by Joachim Thater, Theresa Lemke, Stephan Böddeker, and Richard Lemke. Marketing is conducted via the company website, downloadable technical brochures, an annual Lücking Bausymposion industry event, and social channels (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok), supplemented by co-development partnerships such as the Keramik²/Ziegel² line with Röben.

Product overview

August Luecking GmbH & Co. KG is a family-owned building materials manufacturer founded in 1899, specializing in brick (Ziegel) and concrete products for construction. The company operates as a traditional manufacturing business rather than a software platform. Their product portfolio is organized around two main categories: Ziegelplus and Ziegelpur brick product lines for walls and structural elements, complemented by concrete products including slab ceilings (Plattendecke, Ziegeldecken), double walls (Doppelwand), stair systems (Treppen), and various precast components. The company has expanded into sustainable construction materials including clay bricks (Lehmsteine), rammed earth walls (Stampflehmwände), and innovative composite ceiling systems combining wood-concrete and clay-concrete. Additionally, they offer concrete furniture (Betonbänke) and a comprehensive building package (Lücking Baupaket). The company also provides digital services through a sales portal for ordering and delivery tracking.
