What Christmann & Pfeifer Construction does

Christmann & Pfeifer Construction GmbH & Co. KG is a privately held German construction firm founded in 1925 and headquartered in Angelburg, Hesse, with regional offices in Freiberg, Erfurt, and Leipzig, and a steel fabrication facility in Breidenbach. The company specializes in industrial and commercial construction with a primary focus on steel construction (Stahlbau), delivering a full service stack spanning structural steelwork, turnkey construction (Schlüsselfertiges Bauen), bridge construction (Brückenbau), modular buildings (C + P Modulgebäude), and modular parking solutions (Preflex® Parkhaus), plus integral engineering and BIM-based planning. Vertically integrated operations combine planning, in-house fabrication, and execution under one roof.

The business operates a project-based B2B model in which revenue is generated from individually scoped construction contracts ranging from single-trade steel work to full turnkey (Generalübernehmer / Totalübernehmer) deliveries, paid under standard German construction milestone terms. Customers are large industrial enterprises (Airbus, Daimler, BOMAG, Krones, KWS Saat, Audi), commercial and retail operators (REWE Group, AutoExpo), and public-sector clients across healthcare, education, and infrastructure (Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf, Gesamtschule Wetter, Landesgartenschau Hemer). Two proprietary trademarks — Preflex® Parkhaus and Preflex® Träger — anchor differentiated product lines. All sales occur through direct enterprise field engagement with no e-commerce or self-serve channels.

The company employs 251–500 staff across its locations, marks its 100-year anniversary in 2025, and is governed by managing directors Karsten Kußmann and Stefan Pitzer. It runs the C + P Bildungszentrum for internal workforce development and maintains a Tier-2 digital presence through its website, newsletter, trade-fair participation, and Kununu employer profile. No revenue, funding, M&A, or ownership data is publicly disclosed.
