Franz Traub

What Franz Traub does

Franz Traub GmbH & Co. KG is a German construction company founded in 1953 and headquartered in Aalen-Ebnat, Baden-Württemberg. It specializes in the design and manufacture of commercial, industrial, and administrative buildings, with a core offering centered on in-house production of precast and prestressed concrete elements (Fertig- und Spannbetonteile) and turnkey construction (Schlüsselfertiges Bauen) as general contractor. Supporting capabilities include high-rise and civil engineering, an in-house engineering and planning office, crane and equipment rental (12 truck cranes, 40–220 tons), and industrial/commercial property rental.

The company operates from a single 124,000 m² facility in Aalen-Ebnat with approximately 55,000 m² of production area across 18 hall buildings, giving it vertically integrated control from concrete element manufacturing through transport, lifting, and on-site installation. Its technology base is conventional precast/prestressed concrete engineering, supplemented by an innovative foam concrete (Schaumbeton) developed jointly with TU Darmstadt and Betonwerk Röser, enabling specialized large-scale elements up to 57 tons. The company maintains professional liability insurance with Württembergische Versicherung and is supervised by the Handwerkskammer Ulm.

Franz Traub generates revenue primarily through project-based, one-time B2B contracts with enterprise clients across southern Germany—major retail chains (REWE, Kaufland, EDEKA), manufacturers (STIHL, SEW-Eurodrive, ebm-papst, Daimler, Nestlé, KÄRCHER, Fendt Caravan), logistics operators (Reisser, Gerstlauer), and municipal/public-sector clients. Additional recurring revenue streams include crane/equipment rental and industrial hall rental (units up to 8,142 m²). The firm is privately held under a GmbH & Co. KG structure managed by Franz Traub (managing partner), Günter Schönherr, and Florian Bolsinger (Managing Directors), with Lukas Traub serving as Business Manager. Beck GmbH, a plastering and renovation contractor acquired in 2016, operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary.
