Product offeringCore offering
SHB Schotterwerke Hohenlohe-Bauland GmbH & Co. KG operates 8 quarry and recycling sites in the Hohenlohe-Bauland region of Baden-Württemberg, extracting Muschelkalk (shell limestone) and producing bulk construction aggregates, mineral mixtures, concrete and asphalt aggregates, railway ballast, natural stone products (wall blocks and water engineering stones), and certified recycled construction materials. The company also accepts construction and demolition waste, soil, asphalt, and masonry for processing into quality-assured secondary construction materials in compliance with QRB standards.
Product overview
SHB (Schotterwerke Hohenlohe-Bauland GmbH & Co. KG) operates as a construction materials manufacturer and recycling company with three main product lines: Schüttgüter (bulk aggregates), Natursteinprodukte (natural stone products), and Recyclingprodukte (recycled materials). The core offering consists of processed muschelkalk (limestone) aggregates for road construction, civil engineering, and concrete/asphalt production, supplemented by natural stone products for landscaping applications. The company runs 8 quarry and processing sites across eastern North Württemberg, producing materials ranging from simple crushed aggregates (Vorsieb, Splitte, Schotter) to multi-crushed products (Betonsplitte, HGT, STS, FSS), along with specialty natural stone blocks (Mauerblöcke, Wasserbausteine) and quality-certified recycled construction materials (RC-Baustoffe). Additionally, SHB provides disposal and recovery services accepting clean excavation soil, asphalt, concrete, and construction debris for recycling.

Six partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.
- QRB Qualitätssicherungssystem Recycling-Baustoffe Baden-Württemberg e.V.coreSHB is a founding member of the QRB (Quality Assurance System for Recycled Construction Materials Baden-Württemberg). QRB provides quality assurance for recycled construction materials in the region. SHB offers quality-certified RC construction materials at its sites, with the QRB map showing certified supplier locations.
- Friedrich von Alberti StiftungminorSHB co-founded the Friedrich von Alberti Stiftung together with other companies in the construction materials sector. The foundation is dedicated to promoting paleontology of the Triassic period (Buntsandstein, Muschelkalke, and Keuper). The foundation also awards the Alberti Prize and is associated with the Muschelkalkmuseum Hagdorn in Ingelfingen.
- Firmengruppe AchauercoreIn 1999 and 2000, SHB and Firmengruppe Achauer jointly established a composting facility at the Schweinberg site with an annual throughput capacity of 36,000 tonnes of biowaste. SHB hosts the facility on its site while Firmengruppe Achauer operates the composting business (KWB Kompost).
- NABU (Naturschutzbund Deutschland)minorSHB collaborated with NABU and the district administration (Landratsamt) on environmental mitigation measures for the quarry expansion at Götzingen, including the construction of a 'Fledermausallee' (bat corridor) to enable bats to maintain their usual migration routes through the forest area.
- Beck-Bau GmbHminorSHB partnered with Beck-Bau GmbH to construct a parking area for the Krautheim Workshop for People with Disabilities. SHB supplied all building materials while Beck-Bau handled the labor and machinery for the project.
- Güteschutz Naturstein Baden-Württemberg e.V.coreSHB is a member of Güteschutz Naturstein Baden-Württemberg e.V., a quality assurance association founded in 1971 to promote quality and acceptance of aggregates in road construction.

SHB competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Schwörer Bergkies / Schwörer Gruppe: Schwörer Gruppe operates quarries and gravel pits in Baden-Württemberg and southern Germany producing construction aggregates and recycled materials. Comparable multi-site regional quarry operator with adjacent product portfolio to SHB including natural stone and recycled aggregates.
- Hartsteinwerke Schicker GmbH & Co. KG: Hartsteinwerke Schicker is a mid-sized German quarry operator producing crushed hard stone for road construction, concrete, and railway ballast from sites in Bavaria/Thuringia. It is a relevant direct peer — a regionally concentrated multi-site limestone/hard-rock aggregate producer.
- Basalt-Actien-Gesellschaft (BAG): BAG operates hard-rock quarries across Germany producing crushed stone, asphalt and concrete aggregates, and railway ballast. It is one of the closest direct peers to SHB in terms of product mix (limestone/hard-rock aggregates for road and concrete) and German regional operating model.
- Mineral Baustoffwerke GmbH: Mineral Baustoffwerke operates regional quarries producing crushed stone and concrete aggregates in southern Germany. Closely comparable multi-site quarry business serving road and concrete producers.
- KUTTER GmbH & Co. KG: KUTTER is a family-owned construction materials operator in Baden-Württemberg producing aggregates, ready-mix concrete, and asphalt. Comparable as a vertically integrated, regionally concentrated competitor in the same building-materials value chain.
Broad incumbents
- Dyckerhoff GmbH: Dyckerhoff, part of the Buzzi group, operates German cement and concrete-aggregate facilities. It is comparable as a broad-incumbent supplier of aggregate inputs into concrete production, a downstream customer category SHB also supplies.
- Holcim (Deutschland): Holcim's German subsidiary produces aggregates, ready-mix concrete, and cement across multiple sites in Germany. It competes with SHB in concrete and asphalt aggregates at the broad national level, though its portfolio goes well beyond SHB's pure regional quarry focus.
- Heidelberg Materials AG: Heidelberg Materials is one of the world's largest building materials groups producing aggregates, cement, ready-mixed concrete, and asphalt. It is a comparable broad incumbent overlapping with SHB across aggregates and concrete/asphalt production, but it operates at a continental scale with a much broader portfolio.
Others
- Firmengruppe Achauer: Achauer is SHB's joint-venture partner for the 36,000 tonne/year compost facility at the Schweinberg site. It is comparable as an enabling/strategic-partner operator providing complementary biowaste services on SHB's land — not a direct competitor but a relevant local ecosystem participant.
Regional players
- Hohenloher Schotterwerke GmbH & Co. KG: Hohenloher Schotterwerke is a direct predecessor/predecessor entity to SHB (founded 1975) and one of the contributing firms in SHB's 1991/92 consolidation. Operates quarries in the same Hohenlohe region with materially comparable product portfolio.
