BHG Group

What BHG Group does

BHG Group is a privately held German building materials trading consortium headquartered in Langenlonsheim, founded in 1992 by Alfred Kunert, Walter Rothenbach, and Klaus Stephan. The group operates as a Verbund of 11 legally independent subsidiaries distributed across southwestern Germany, with primary branches in Langenlonsheim, Frankfurt am Main, Lampertheim, Saarbrücken, and Merzig. Approximately 150 employees serve professional craftsmen, private builders, architects, construction companies, and large construction firms across diverse segments including raw and structural construction, plaster and facades, dry construction, civil and road engineering, garden and landscaping, screed materials, and precast concrete elements.

The group's offerings span pure materials trading (concrete, masonry, insulation, screed, plaster, facade systems, drainage, civil engineering materials) as well as value-added services such as on-site consultation, material quantity calculations, and just-in-time delivery via a specialized fleet including 28m crane trucks and express Sprinter vehicles. A production capability for prefabricated concrete elements (ceilings, stairs, walls, balconies) is operated through BHG Hessia Baustoffe GmbH. The company has been a shareholder of the Hagebau Soltau European purchasing cooperative since 1999, providing aggregated procurement scale and access to the broader BSP network of 13 regional partners.

Revenue is generated through one-time sale of construction materials plus associated logistics services, with pricing structured on a quote-based, project-specific basis depending on quantities, delivery location, and customer type. The go-to-market is sales-led: direct consultation at six branch locations, field sales representatives visiting construction sites, and referrals via the Hagebau and BSP networks. The group achieved record revenue of over €100 million in 2016 and continues to operate from its Langenlonsheim headquarters as an active private enterprise with no public listing or disclosed external funding.

Regional players

• August Rädler Baustoffe: Family-owned building materials dealer group operating multiple branches in Bavaria. Highly comparable family-run, multi-subsidiary structure and B2B trades focus, but serves southern Bavaria rather than BHG's Rhineland-Palatinate and Hessen footprint.
• Wiedemann Baustoffe: Mid-sized building materials distributor primarily serving northern and eastern Germany. Comparable business model and customer base to BHG (trades, private builders, construction companies), but operating in a different regional footprint rather than directly competing in Southwest Germany.

Direct peers

• Hagebau (Member Companies): Hagebau is the European purchasing cooperative of which BHG is a shareholder. Other Hagebau member dealers (e.g., regional Hagebau Fachhandel branches) operate with the same cooperative purchasing model and serve the same professional craftsman and contractor customer base, making them direct competitive peers despite the cooperative relationship.
• BayWa Baustoffhandel: Building materials retail/wholesale arm of BayWa AG with branches across southern Germany serving professional trades and private builders. Closely comparable business model — B2B/B2B2C building materials dealer with field sales, showrooms, and logistics — overlapping with BHG in the same geographic regions (Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg, Rhein-Main).
• BauPro Baustoff-Profihandel: Independent German building materials dealer network focused on professional craftsmen and small/mid-sized construction firms. Highly comparable to BHG in target segment (trade professionals), product breadth (structural and finishing materials), and branch-based sales model, with similar reliance on expert consultation and project-specific logistics.
• Karlsruher Baustoffhandel (Karl Berrang GmbH): Mid-sized regional building materials distributor in Baden-Württemberg serving craftsmen, builders, and construction firms across structural, civil, and finishing categories. Closely comparable to BHG in product mix (concrete, masonry, insulation, civil engineering materials), customer segments, and sales-led B2B service model, operating in adjacent southwestern German geographies.
• Raab Karcher (Stark Group): One of Germany's largest building materials distributors serving trades and contractors with multi-branch coverage. Directly comparable to BHG in target customer (professional craftsmen and construction firms), product breadth (concrete, masonry, dry construction, civil engineering), and B2B sales-led go-to-market, but operates at significantly greater national scale.

Broad incumbents

• Bauhaus (Fachhandel): One of Europe's largest DIY and builder's merchant chains with extensive German branch coverage. Overlaps with BHG in selling building materials to private builders and small trades, but operates at significantly larger scale, more standardized assortment, and stronger consumer/DIY orientation rather than pure B2B trades focus.
• Saint-Gobain Distribution Deutschland: German arm of Saint-Gobain's building distribution business, one of Europe's largest distributors of construction materials including drywall, insulation, ceilings, and facade systems. Comparable to BHG Spezialbaustoffe and Hessia Baustoffe in product categories (dry construction, WDVS, screed) but operating as part of a much larger international group with broader product range.
• Hornbach Baustoff Union: Hornbach's professional B2B building materials division serves trades and construction companies with bulk supply, specialist consultation, and delivery. Comparable to BHG in serving professional builders, though Hornbach operates a broader big-box and B2B hybrid model across more geographies than BHG's southwest Germany concentration.
