Schmitz Wiedmuehle

What Schmitz Wiedmuehle does

Schmitz Wiedmühle GmbH is a German construction materials and logistics company founded in 1950 and headquartered in Neustadt/Wied, Rheinland-Pfalz. The company operates three licensed gravel pits — Luise, Josef, and Barbara — in the Verbandsgemeinde Linz area, extracting approximately 150,000 tonnes of sand and gravel per year, and sells a graded aggregate product line (Sand 0/2, Kies 2/8, Kies 8/16, Kies 16/32, Frostschutzkies 0/32, Rohkies) primarily to road and civil engineering contractors, municipal governments, and garden/landscape construction firms in Rheinland-Pfalz.

The business is vertically integrated across four service lines: (1) aggregate extraction and trading of bulk materials (sand, gravel, basalt, lava, topsoil, split), (2) a certified Entsorgungsfachbetrieb waste disposal facility accredited under § 56 KrW/AbfG since 24 August 2006, handling contaminated and uncontaminated soils, construction debris, and monitored waste, (3) transportation and site logistics using a fleet of approximately 28 owned all-wheel-drive trucks with steel dump bodies, three-sided tippers, and thermal containers, maintained in an in-house workshop with DEKRA inspection, and (4) land reclamation services that move up to 150,000 cubic meters of earth annually for mining-area restoration, agricultural re-use, and wetland creation. Distribution is direct to end customers with no intermediary dealers, and pricing is quote-based per project or tonnage rather than list-based.

Ownership is a 50/50 structure created in January 2023 when Albert Weil Umwelt GmbH (a 100% subsidiary of Bauunternehmung Albert Weil AG) acquired half the share capital as part of a succession plan, with the remaining half held by managing shareholder Jürgen Melles. Stefan Jung-Diefenbach, a board member of Albert Weil AG, serves as co-Managing Director. The company is a private GmbH, has no external funding rounds, does not disclose revenue, employs approximately 50–60 staff including management, sales, dispatch, accounting, workshop, and drivers, and has a digital footprint limited to a corporate website, Facebook, and Instagram. There are no disclosed AI/ML or software platform components.

Broad incumbents

• Heidelberg Materials AG: Heidelberg Materials is one of the world's largest integrated manufacturers of building materials, with major German aggregates, cement, and ready-mix operations. Broad incumbent covering aggregates extraction and materials trade at a much larger scale than Schmitz Wiedmühle.
• REMONDIS GmbH & Co. KG: REMONDIS is one of Europe's largest private waste management and recycling groups, with extensive certified disposal, contaminated-soil handling, and haulage operations in Germany. Broad incumbent directly comparable to Schmitz Wiedmühle's certified Entsorgungsfachbetrieb disposal business.
• Eurovia GmbH: Eurovia (part of Vinci) operates quarries, aggregates production, road construction services, and bulk material transport across Germany. Broad incumbent overlapping with Schmitz Wiedmühle's aggregate supply and site-logistics activities for road and civil engineering customers.
• Holcim Deutschland GmbH: Holcim Deutschland is the German arm of one of the world's largest construction materials groups, operating aggregates quarries, ready-mix concrete plants, and a nationwide logistics network. Broad incumbent: large-scale, multi-product competitor overlapping with Schmitz Wiedmühle's sand, gravel, and transport service lines.
• Basalt-Actien-Gesellschaft: Basalt-Actien-Gesellschaft produces mineral raw materials (basalt, sand, gravel, lime) and operates quarry restoration activities across Germany. Broad incumbent comparable in extraction and reclamation services to Schmitz Wiedmühle's pit operations and recultivation work.
• STRABAG AG: STRABAG is a major European construction group whose German operations consume large volumes of aggregates and engage haulage/disposal subcontractors for road and civil projects. Comparable as both a key customer segment for Schmitz Wiedmühle's road/civil engineering clients and a broader operator in the regional ecosystem.

Others

• Knauf Gips KG: Knauf is a large German building materials producer (gypsum, insulation, dry construction) with significant raw material mining activities and material logistics. Adjacent peer: related mining and bulk-materials logistics footprint, but not directly competitive in construction aggregates.
• K+S Aktiengesellschaft: K+S is a German mineral mining group producing salt and potash with substantial extraction, logistics fleets, and reclamation/restoration activities. Adjacent peer: same mining/materials extraction and post-extraction land restoration pattern at vastly larger scale than Schmitz Wiedmühle.

Direct peers

• Heidelberger Sand und Kies GmbH: Heidelberger Sand und Kies is a regional German operator of sand and gravel pits with an own logistics fleet and material trading activities. Direct peer: same combination of extraction, bulk construction material trade, and regional delivery that defines Schmitz Wiedmühle's core business.

Regional players

• Rheinische Baustoffwerke GmbH: Rheinische Baustoffwerke is a regional Rheinland producer of sand, gravel, and other bulk construction minerals serving nearby civil engineering markets. Regional peer running a similar pit-based extraction and bulk-supply model in adjacent German territory.
