What Söllner does

Söllner GmbH & Co. KG is a fourth-generation, family-owned multi-trade construction company headquartered in Plettenberg, Sauerland, Germany, founded in 1902 as a roofing business (Dachdeckerbetrieb). The firm has since expanded into construction metalworking (Bauklempnerei), carpentry (Zimmerei), scaffolding (Gerüstbau), facade services, and most recently architecture, with each division operating as a certified Meisterbetrieb (master craftsman business). Its service portfolio covers flat and steep roofing, roof renovation and insulation, timber frame construction (Holzrahmenbau), dormers, carports, facade cladding in slate, metal, and wood, full scaffolding solutions, and architectural services from design to execution, supplemented by container rental (2-25 cbm), crane work, and work platform rentals. Technology is based on traditional handcraft methods rather than proprietary platforms or digital tools.

The company's business model is project-based, quote-driven construction services delivered directly by its in-house teams of qualified master craftsmen and journeymen. GTM is sales-led via phone, email, and contact form, with marketing through a company website and a Facebook page. Customer segments include industrial/commercial clients (e.g., REWE, ALDI, HIT, Modepark Röther, VDM Metals), public-sector institutions (schools, community halls in Finnentrop, Plettenberg, Herscheid), healthcare (Seniorenheim Sundern), hospitality, and private homeowners. Operations are primarily regional in the Sauerland area, with stated nationwide Germany service capability. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the firm has no external funding, no subsidiaries, and no M&A activity, operating as a self-financed GmbH & Co. KG managed by fourth-generation family members Marc Söllner and Heiko Söllner.
