BAUER Group

What BAUER Group does

BAUER Group, headquartered in Schrobenhausen, Germany and founded in the late 18th century, is an international construction and mechanical engineering group operating through three core subsidiaries: BAUER Spezialtiefbau GmbH (Geotechnical Solutions), BAUER Maschinen GmbH (Equipment), and BAUER Resources GmbH (Resources). The group delivers specialist foundation engineering services including excavation pits, diaphragm and cut-off walls, soil improvement, and foundations for complex infrastructure projects, and is the world market leader in the development and manufacture of foundation engineering equipment such as the BG-series rotary drilling rigs (BG 30, BG 45, BG 50) and piling equipment like the RG 19 T. BAUER serves enterprise customers across construction/infrastructure, mining, and environmental/municipal segments in over 100 countries, with named engagements including Eurasian Resources Group in Kazakhstan and the Frankfurt municipal sewerage authority.

The company makes money through three integrated streams: hardware sales of specialist drilling rigs and piling equipment, professional services for complex foundation projects, and managed services spanning environmental technology, well construction, mining services, and remediation. Go-to-market is predominantly direct enterprise field sales supported by international customer and service centers in Italy, the UK, and the U.S., complemented by industry events (IFAT Munich, the Bauer In-House Exhibition) and a digital platform stack including the BAUERdigital Portal, BAUER site apps, BIM, b-project data management software, IoT-based structural health monitoring, GIS documentation, and a Semi-GPS 3D excavator capable of subgrade grading to 2 cm accuracy. The company is listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under ticker B5A, controlled by the Doblinger family, and is preparing a legal form change to KGaA in 2026 alongside an approximately EUR 500 million investment program through 2030.
