Transbeton

What Transbeton does

Transbeton Transportbetonwerk GmbH & Co. KG is a privately held German ready-mix concrete manufacturer headquartered at Ehinger Straße 101, 88400 Biberach an der Riß, with a second production plant in Laupheim/Äpfingen (Gottlieb-Röhm-Straße 4, 88437 Äpfingen). The company has operated for over 50 years and serves construction firms across the Oberschwaben region of Baden-Württemberg. It produces concrete in standard strength classes (C20/25 through C35/45) and all consistencies, including specialty mixes such as exposed concrete (Sichtbeton) and a recycled-aggregate concrete line (RC-Beton), with continuous quality monitoring performed by its in-house testing laboratory (Prüfstelle). All products are backed by CSC (Concrete Sustainability Council) certification and verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs).

The company delivers freshly batched concrete directly to construction sites using an owned fleet of 20 concrete mixer trucks (19 of which are Mercedes-Benz Arocs chassis fitted with Liebherr mixer bodies). Order capture is sales-led and direct — phone, email, or an online inquiry form — with no reseller intermediaries. Supplementary services include concrete pumping (Betonpumpen) and conveyor belt placement (Betonförderband) for difficult-to-access sites. Pricing is volume-based, documented in a publicly downloadable 2024 price list (TRANSBETON_Preisliste-2024), billed on a pay-as-you-go basis per cubic meter.

The customer base is horizontal: regional general and specialized construction companies (Bauunternehmen) undertaking residential, commercial, infrastructure, and exposed-concrete architectural projects within delivery radius of the two plants. The company is led by Managing Directors Reinhold Brehm and Hermann Huchler. There is no public listing, no disclosed external investment, and no parent holding company; ownership appears to remain with the founding partners. Marketing activity is modest but consistent with a regional industrial business: a content website with downloadable product PDFs, an active Facebook and Instagram presence, and earned-media placements on ZDF and in Transport Magazine.
