Aktiv Ladenbau

What Aktiv Ladenbau does

Aktiv Ladenbau GmbH is an Austrian specialist in custom shop fitting, trade show construction, commercial furnishing, and storage technology. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Lanzenkirchen, the company operates as a member of the Strohmaier Group Austria and serves a client base spanning enterprise retail chains (Interspar, Eurospar, Mömax, Hervis, Würth), public and institutional buyers (ORF, Flughafen Wien, Wiener Prater, Sparkasse), and small to mid-sized businesses across retail, healthcare, automotive, fitness, and consumer services. Its offering is organized into five service pillars: Ladenbau (retail fit-out), Messebau (trade show construction), Objekteinrichtung (commercial furnishing), Lagertechnik (storage technology), and Sonderlösungen (custom solutions), supported by after-sales service and a customer-facing Möbelplaner planning tool.

The company's core capability is integrated in-house manufacturing that combines metalworking and carpentry under one roof. The Lanzenkirchen campus comprises a 3,000+ m² carpentry workshop with CNC-controlled production led by Tischlermeister Martin Schwarz and a team of 20+ skilled workers, a parallel 3,000+ m² metalworking shop equipped with CO2 and fiber laser cutting systems and automated bending centers (work up to 3,000 mm), and a 4,000 m² warehouse stocking more than 3,000 sheet panels in over 20 decors for rapid response. A 412 kWp photovoltaic installation on 2,500 m² and a 500 kW wood chip heating system cover a substantial portion of facility energy needs. Project planning is anchored in photorealistic 3D visualization and CAD-based design, reducing lead times and enabling customer review before fabrication.

Revenue is generated through project-based contracts on a quote-driven, non-list-price model. Individual project budgets range from approximately EUR 100,000 (smaller SMB fit-outs such as RF Schuh & Sport GmbH) to EUR 400,000 (large institutional projects such as the Vienna Airport 6-fold gastrocontainer facility completed August 2025). Go-to-market is consultative and direct, relying on inbound inquiries, long-term enterprise relationships (Interspar, Eurospar, Mömax, Hervis repeat fit-outs), and corporate referrals within Strohmaier Group Austria rather than public pricing or paid acquisition. Operations are predominantly Austria-wide, with selective cross-border execution such as the ELL Austria trade show stand delivered in Berlin in November 2024, and ongoing after-sales service supports retention across the installed base.
