Schmid

What Schmid does

Schmid Erdbau is a family-owned earthworks (Erdbau) contractor headquartered in Rossleithen, Bezirk Kirchdorf an der Krems, Upper Austria. Founded in 1958 and led by Managing Director Hannes Schmid, the company operates a fleet of 50+ construction machines — including excavators, dump trucks, crane trucks (LKW-Frontkran) with work baskets, and mobile crushing plants — together with an in-house gravel processing facility and a soil disposal site acquired in Spital am Pyhrn in 2021. Its core product portfolio covers Erdbau (excavation, grading, slope stabilization, reinforced earth systems, retaining walls), Transport (including winter service), Schotter (processed aggregate sales), Abbruch (demolition with mobile on-site recycling), Mietpark (equipment rental), and Lagerverkauf (material sales such as playground sand).

The company serves three primary customer segments within Bezirk Kirchdorf an der Krems and southern Oberösterreich: private homeowners (residential excavations, garden works, geothermal groundwork), commercial construction firms and developers (demolition, reinforced earth, infrastructure earthworks), and the public sector (river/weir maintenance for entities such as Gewässerbezirk Linz). Engagement is project-based and sales-led: customers contact the company via phone or a website inquiry form, the firm conducts a site visit, and pricing is delivered as a custom quote under its 'Anständigkeit' (decency) five-phase process. Marketing relies on a content-rich website, project case studies, customer testimonials (claimed 98% recommendation rate), and community events, with no intermediaries in the distribution chain. Schmid positions itself regionally as the 'Gentlemen unter den Baggerfahrern,' differentiating on trust, transparent pricing, and integrated in-house capabilities rather than on price competition.
