Avenarius-Agro

What Avenarius-Agro does

Avenarius-Agro GmbH is an Austrian specialty construction chemicals manufacturer founded in 1894 and headquartered in Wels, Austria, operating as the construction protection and corrosion protection business unit within the SynthesaGruppe (itself owned by DAW, Deutsche Amphibolin-Werke). The company develops and produces protective coatings, concrete repair systems, building waterproofing materials, expansion joint tapes and plates, thinners and cleaners, adhesives, and specialized tunnel coating formulations based on polymer-modified cement mortars, solvent-free water-dispersed epoxy resins, and silane-based hydrophobic technologies. Its product range addresses protection of concrete and steel structures against chloride penetration, water ingress, de-icing salt damage, and industrial corrosion.

The company serves Austrian infrastructure and public works projects (tunnel renovations such as the A9 Pyhrn Autobahn tunnel chain, and bridge protection for the Donautalbrücke Linz and Neue Eisenbahnbrücke Linz), industrial and manufacturing facilities (for example floor coatings at BMW Logistikzentrum Steyr), public buildings and educational institutions, and the building renovation and monument preservation segment. Its go-to-market combines enterprise field sales with application technology consultants for complex project work, alongside distribution through the SynthesaGruppe Caparol paint shop dealer network and a professional customer portal for registered contractors. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, reflecting a project-driven B2B commercial model with revenue generated primarily through one-time product sales supplemented by technical consulting services.
