Kann Beton

What Kann Beton does

KANN Beton GmbH & Co. KG is a privately held German ready-mix concrete producer founded in 1974, headquartered in Bendorf, Rheinland-Pfalz. The company operates a network of over 30 production plants spanning East and West Germany, organized into regional subsidiaries (notably KANN Beton Lausitz GmbH & Co. KG and the Leipzig entity) and embedded within the broader KANN-Gruppe corporate group. Its core products are Transportbeton (ready-mix concrete delivered from truck mixers), Stahlfaserbeton (steel fiber reinforced concrete), and Spezialbaustoffe (special construction materials), complemented by calcium sulfate / anhydrite flow screeds (CAF) and architectural variants such as colored concrete and stamping techniques.

The underlying technology centers on computer-controlled concrete production systems with computer-steered mixing plants, supported by in-house concrete testing laboratories (Eigene Betonprüfstellen) in both West and East Germany that maintain over 20,000 documented test results in EDV software for statistical QA. The company also offers a recycling concrete (Recycling-Beton) line that reuses residual water and recycles fresh concrete, and provides mobile concrete pumping services available on Saturdays for difficult site conditions.

KANN Beton generates revenue through unit-priced, pay-as-you-go sales of ready-mix concrete and related materials, supplemented by laboratory testing services and pump rental. Pricing is publicly disclosed via downloadable regional price lists (e.g., Rheinland-Pfalz Nord, Ost/Lausitz, Leipzig) for 2026. Customers are segmented horizontally into industrial clients (Industriekunden) requiring high-volume ready-mix for foundations, structural elements, and infrastructure, and private builders (Private Bauherren) for residential projects. Ten of its plants hold Concrete Sustainability Council (CSC) certifications awarded in 2024, supporting positioning with ESG-screened construction procurement.
