Heinrich Feess

What Heinrich Feess does

Heinrich Feess GmbH & Co. KG is a third-generation, family-owned German construction services and building-materials group headquartered in Kirchheim/Teck, Baden-Württemberg. Founded in 1951 by Heinrich and Maria Feeß as a small transport business, the company now operates across approximately six locations with 300+ employees and a fleet of 50+ trucks and 70+ construction machines. Walter Feeß led the business from 1995 to 2024, during which period the company pivoted decisively into circular-economy services; in 2024 he handed leadership to Alexander Feeß, Benjamin Feeß, and Jochen Röhrer.

The company operates an integrated value chain spanning earthworks (Erdbau), demolition (Abbruch), soil stabilisation (Bodenstabilisierung), hazardous-waste disposal (Altlastenentsorgung), container services, and transportation, anchored by one of Baden-Württemberg's first recycling parks (established 1994 in Kirchheim). Core physical-assets technology includes crawler-mounted mobile crushing and screening plants, a wet classification system (Nassklassierungsanlage/NKA) producing washed quality aggregates, and automated batching electronics for the Naturabo Bodenmörtel (Naturafix) self-compacting backfill material. Output comprises more than 40 recycled building-material SKUs, plus primary building materials, Erden & Naturstoffe, Hartgestein-Splitte, and Ökostones (100% recycled-aggregate concrete blocks).

Commercially, Feess runs a sales-led, project-based B2B model targeting general contractors, municipalities and government entities, and building-materials distributors/concrete manufacturers across Baden-Württemberg, with both quote-based services and direct pickup/delivery of materials. Revenue is generated through construction-services contracts, building-materials sales, and per-transaction specialty recycling fees (artificial turf sand, sludge, external wet-classification tolling). Education and ecosystem influence are delivered through the wholly owned K³ – Kompetenzzentrum subsidiary, which hosts seminars on circular economy in construction.

Direct peers

• Hagedorn Unternehmensgruppe: Germany's largest C&D recycling and demolition group; operates brownfield redevelopment, demolition, and material recycling across multiple German states. Directly comparable to Feess on integrated demolition-to-recycled-aggregate model, with much larger national scale.
• Eggersmann Gruppe: Family-owned German group active in demolition, recycling, and environmental remediation. Operates recycling parks and produces secondary building materials, closely matching Feess's service and product mix with broader national coverage.
• Geiger Unternehmensgruppe: Family-owned German construction, demolition, and environmental services group with recycling activities. Operates regionally in southern Germany, comparable to Feess in service mix and customer base (B2B construction companies and public sector).
• Otto Dörner Entsorgung: Northern German waste management and recycling group operating transfer stations, container services, and secondary building materials production. Comparable business model to Feess, though concentrated in northern Germany rather than Baden-Württemberg.
• Seier Unternehmensgruppe: German family-owned group covering demolition, civil engineering, recycling, and aggregate supply. Direct comparable to Feess in vertically integrated demolition-recycling-materials model, with national scope.

Broad incumbents

• ALBA Group: Major European recycling and waste management company operating across metals, plastics, and C&D streams. Overlaps with Feess on construction waste collection and secondary raw materials, but operates at a much broader portfolio and European scale.
• REMONDIS: One of the world's largest private waste and recycling service companies, part of the Rethmann Group. Operates broadly in C&D waste, secondary raw materials, and aggregate supply, overlapping with Feess's recycling and materials sales but at vastly greater scale and geographic reach.

Emerging players

• Werner Doppstadt Gruppe: German manufacturer of recycling machinery and operator of recycling services for C&D, green waste, and wood. Comparable on the wet classification and mobile crushing/screening technology Feess uses, with a complementary equipment-supplier role.

Regional players

• XERVON Germany: Subsidiary of REMONDIS focused on industrial scaffolding, insulation, and demolition services in Germany. Comparable on the demolition-services side, though it does not produce recycled building materials at Feess's scale.
• Karl-Heinz Peters GmbH & Co. KG (Bauunternehmen): Family-owned German construction and demolition contractor in northern Germany. Comparable in mid-sized, family-led demolition and civil-engineering operations, though without the depth of Feess's recycling-park infrastructure.
