Lithonplus

What Lithonplus does

Lithonplus GmbH & Co. KG is a German manufacturer of concrete landscaping and infrastructure products, specializing in paving stones, terrace slabs, garden walls, steps, and palisades. Founded in 2004 and headquartered in Lingenfeld, Germany, the company operates 16 production facilities across Germany, all certified to the Concrete Sustainability Council (CSC) Gold standard — one of the broadest certified footprints in the German concrete-products market. Its portfolio includes specialty lines such as Lithon Blue (manufactured with up to 40% recycled aggregates) and Lithon GeoClean (paving engineered for stormwater purification), extending the offering beyond standard decorative and structural concrete into sustainability- and functionality-led segments.\n\nThe company serves a dual customer base: B2B clients including municipalities, Deutsche Bahn, and large enterprises on a project-based supply model; and B2C end customers via direct e-commerce, a regional dealer network, and an installer referral program. Lithonplus supports specifiers and consumers with digital planning tools including BIM objects, CAD planning files, and the Your Floor Live Konfigurator — a photo-based visualization tool powered by Veeuze GmbH that overlays products into a user's own property image. The company maintains an academic partnership with DHBW (Duale Hochschule Baden-Württemberg) for talent and applied research.\n\nLithonplus is operationally integrated with Heidelberg Materials under a Financial Partner relationship, with HR and career systems routed through Heidelberg. Revenue is generated through direct product sales to dealers and installers, e-commerce, and B2B project contracts — there is no disclosed subscription or recurring-revenue pricing model. Pricing is product-line based, with sustainability-certified and specialty lines (Lithon Blue, Lithon GeoClean) likely commanding premiums relative to standard catalog items, though no pricing schedule is publicly disclosed.
