Pittel +Brausewetter

What Pittel +Brausewetter does

Pittel+Brausewetter is a family-owned Austrian general contractor founded in 1870 by Adolf Baron Pittel and Ing. Viktor Brausewetter, headquartered in Vienna and operating under the legal name Pittel+Brausewetter Holding GmbH. The company delivers a broad portfolio of construction services — road construction, civil engineering, structural building, bridge construction, pipeline and sewer construction, railway track construction, restoration and monument preservation, golf course and sports facility construction, and specialist paving — through wholly owned subsidiaries including ContraCon Baustoffrecycling GmbH, BMKS (Baumaschinen Miete.Kauf.Service), Leopold Krenn GmbH, Wolfgang Resel GmbH, and Zwettler Tiefbau, plus a Slovak subsidiary (Pittel+Brausewetter s.r.o., Bratislava, established 1992).

The company's delivery model is vertically integrated. It owns three asphalt mixing plants (Vienna-Inzersdorf, Tulln-Nitzing, Bratislava) and co-owns four further plants (AMB, WMW, AMW, TAM), operates its own concrete plant in Inzersdorf, runs three building material recycling locations via ContraCon, and maintains a central construction yard on approximately 10 hectares plus an in-house quality laboratory. Notable technical assets include a patented six-hour paving concrete (Patentzement) enabling rapid road resurfacing, and deep specialist expertise in monument restoration, railway track and grooved-rail construction, and large civil engineering works (e.g., the largest sugar silo in Europe).

Revenue is generated primarily through project-based construction contracts awarded via public procurement (the firm is registered in the Austrian contractor registry ANKÖ under code 41530) and direct private commercial relationships. Secondary revenue comes from selling asphalt, concrete, and recycled construction materials to third parties, and from machinery rental through BMKS. The company employs approximately 1,000 staff across Austria and Slovakia, generates annual construction output exceeding €200 million, and is privately held with no external equity or PE involvement. Its principal clients are public sector and institutional counterparties including ÖBB, Vienna Airport, the Austrian Parliament, the Federal Ministry of Finance, and municipal authorities.
