What Donaumoos Kies does

Donaumoos Kies GmbH & Co. KG is a privately held German construction materials producer operating two gravel works (Kieswerke) in Weichering and Königsmoos-Rosing, Bavaria. The company extracts and processes mineral raw materials — sand and gravel originating from erosion and weathering of rock, transported by water into the Donaumoos valley — into a portfolio of construction aggregates including sand 0-4, fine sand, gravel-crushed sand, premium grit (Kies-Edelsplitt), mineral concrete, crushed stone/schotter, and unsifted humus. Production runs on processing plants built to current technical standards, with continuous internal and external quality monitoring ensuring DIN-compliant output; the company holds ISO 45001 occupational safety certification and product-specific conformity certificates for concrete aggregates, asphalt, and mortar.

The business operates on a direct-to-customer, quote-based sales model with two fulfillment options: customer pickup at the works or direct delivery to site. Primary customers are enterprises in the construction materials industry and transport concrete/asphalt mixing plants, supplemented by building and civil engineering contractors, landscaping firms, and private builders — a horizontally segmented base. Pricing is per-unit by material grade and volume, billed on a pay-as-you-go basis, with an additional free acceptance service for uncontaminated Z0 excavation material at the Rosing site that creates a reciprocal waste-recovery stream.

Operationally, the company is integrated into the regional environmental governance framework: recultivation (renaturalization) measures at extraction sites are planned in cooperation with the local district administration (Landratsamt), water management office (Wasserwirtschaftsamt), nature conservation authority (Naturschutzbehörde), and an external applied nature-conservation planning office (PAN Planungsbüro). Ownership is private with no disclosed institutional investors; the company is managed by Peter Ritter (Geschäftsführer) and Stefanie Schano (Betriebsleitung). No M&A, funding, geographic expansion, or leadership changes are recorded in the available data.
