What Deutsche Asphalt does

Deutsche Asphalt GmbH is a German manufacturer of asphalt mixtures, founded in 2007 and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of STRABAG AG, the Cologne-based publicly-listed construction conglomerate. The company is headquartered in Bad Hersfeld and operates across five regional areas (Bereiche) in Germany, employing approximately 250 staff. Its primary function is supplying asphalt for road construction infrastructure projects, with STRABAG AG acting as the lead internal customer while the company also serves external road construction clients in the German market.

The company's product portfolio is engineered across the full asphalt layer system, including Asphalttragschichten (base courses), Asphaltbinderschichten (binder courses), Asphaltbeton (asphalt concrete), Splittmastixasphalt (stone mastic asphalt), Gussasphalt (mastic asphalt), Offenporiger Asphalt (porous asphalt for noise reduction and drainage), Sondermischgut (custom specialty mixtures), and Ausbauasphalt (recycled asphalt incorporating reclaimed pavement material). Production is organised around five regional asphalt mixing plants, with formulations tailored to local aggregate availability, climatic requirements, and project specifications.

The business operates as a B2B industrial manufacturer serving the German road construction sector. The company holds ISO 9001:2008 quality management, ISO 14001 environmental management, and SCC** (Safety Certificate Contractors) certifications, which are typical prerequisites for qualification on German public road construction tenders. No pricing model, revenue mechanics, or financial figures are disclosed in the available input data, and the company is wholly-owned by STRABAG AG rather than an independent capital-raising entity.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Asphalttragschichten (Asphalt Base Courses) Base course layer that protects the subgrade from environmental influences, maintains load-bearing capacity, serves as a foundation for subsequent pavement layers, and distributes traffic loads evenly to the underlying structure. Used by road construction companies and infrastructure projects.
• Asphaltbinderschichten (Asphalt Binder Courses) Binder course layer used for surfaces requiring higher load-bearing capacity, providing additional structural strength together with the base and surface courses. Targets road construction projects with elevated traffic load requirements.
• Asphalttragdeckschichten (Asphalt Base-Wearing Courses) Single-layer road surfacing for subordinate traffic routes according to TL Asphalt StB 07, 3.2.2, commonly used in rural areas. Provided to road construction clients for low-traffic applications.
• Asphaltbeton (Asphalt Concrete) Surface course asphalt suitable for use on all road pavements of construction classes II to VI according to ZTV Asphalt-StB 07, 3.7. Serves construction companies and infrastructure projects across a wide range of road categories.
• Splittmastixasphalt (Stone Mastic Asphalt / SMA) Stone mastic asphalt characterized by high content of coarse aggregates (preferably 100% crushed stone) and higher bitumen content than other asphalt types, with additives serving as binder carriers to prevent bitumen drainage. Used for road construction requiring high durability.
• Gussasphalt (Mastic Asphalt) Mastic asphalt without a self-supporting aggregate framework, composed of fine and coarse aggregates, filler, and road construction bitumen or polymer-modified bitumen. Load-bearing capacity is ensured by a very stiff mortar (hard bitumen and high filler content).
• Offenporiger Asphalt (Porous Asphalt) Noise-reducing and draining asphalt surface course according to TL Asphalt-StB 07, 3.2.7, with water- and air-permeable surface layer requiring sealing of the underlying substrate. Used for noise reduction and drainage in road construction.
• Sondermischgut (Special Asphalt Mixtures) Innovative asphalt mixtures not yet regulated in TL Asphalt-StB 07, including noise-optimized porous asphalt (LOA), mastic asphalt with porous surface (PMA), low-noise stone mastic asphalt (SMA LA), structural frameworks, water asphalts, drain asphalts, colored asphalts, and industrial asphalts. Used for specialized road construction and industrial applications.
• Ausbauasphalt (Reclaimed Asphalt) Reclaimed asphalt for resource conservation, reusable in mix production after reprocessing to equivalent quality, serving as an important component for the economic efficiency of asphalt road construction. Supports sustainable construction practices and circular economy.
