What kerschner umweltservice does

Kerschner Umweltservice und Logistik GmbH is a family-owned Austrian environmental services and logistics company founded in 1930, headquartered in Pöchlarn, Lower Austria, with operations across the Mostviertel region. The company collects, transports, sorts, and recycles waste materials — including residual waste, plastics, metals, glass, paper, bio-waste, and construction debris — for municipalities, industrial and commercial customers, construction firms, and private individuals. Core service lines are Entsorgung (disposal), Logistik (container transport with crane trucks and specialized vehicles), Behältersysteme (container rental from 120L bins to 50m³ roll-offs), and Stoffstrommanagement (material flow management marketing secondary raw materials). The company operates an integrated asset base spanning three locations — Pöchlarn (headquarters), Mank (operations and KuRec recycling), and Hörsdorf (KuRec plastics recycling facility) — and runs its own fleet including a fully electric LKW, MaxiWash truck wash, diesel refueling stations, in-house electrical trade, and a vehicle workshop. Vertically integrated plastic recycling under the 2ND KER Materials / KuRec brand converts collected plastic into regranulate in a three-shift operation partially funded by BMK environmental promotion. Sub-brands Pipibox (standard mobile toilets) and Lulux (luxury VIP mobile toilets) target events and construction sites, while MobilClean offers mobile cleaning services. Revenue is generated through transaction-based disposal and logistics fees, recurring mobile sanitation rentals, sales of recycled regranulate and secondary raw materials, and ancillary vehicle wash and refueling services, delivered fully direct via owned fleet across six Lower Austrian districts.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• AVE (Austrian waste management): Established Austrian waste management operator with municipal contracts, recycling, and hazardous-waste capabilities. Overlapping service portfolio but operates as a much larger incumbent.
• REMONDIS: One of Europe's largest waste and recycling companies with Austrian operations; competes on municipal collection, recycling, and industrial waste services at significantly larger scale.
• ALBA Group (Austria): European recycling and environmental services group active in Austria across collection, sorting, and material recovery; relevant benchmark for integrated recycling capabilities akin to KuRec.
• Veolia Umweltservice Österreich: Austrian subsidiary of Veolia providing waste collection, recycling, and industrial services. Comparable service breadth but as part of a global environmental services platform.
• FCC Environment Austria: Austrian arm of global FCC Group providing municipal and commercial waste collection, treatment, and disposal. Comparable offering but vastly larger scale and broader geographic footprint.

Direct peers

• TOI TOI & DIXI: Direct competitor to Kerschner's Pipibox mobile toilet rental service, offering portable sanitation for events, construction, and public use across Austria and internationally.
• Saubermacher Dienstleistungs AG: Austrian family-owned waste management and environmental services group offering collection, recycling, and disposal across multiple regions. Closest comparable in business model, customer mix (municipal + commercial), and integrated recycling philosophy.
• Brantner Holding GmbH: Lower-Austria based waste logistics and disposal company with municipal collection contracts, container services, and recycling operations. Directly comparable in geography, container-heavy model, and family-business roots.

Others

• Container-Lex / SULO Group (container systems): Major European supplier of waste containers, bins, and roll-off systems. Not a direct competitor but adjacent supplier/enabler whose container products Kerschner's container-rental fleet depends on.

Regional players

• Wittmann GmbH (waste management): Austrian waste management and recycling group with municipal and commercial collection contracts; overlaps in customer base and service mix, primarily operating in other Austrian regions.
