Schärdinger Granit

What Schärdinger Granit does

Schärdinger Granit Industrie GmbH is a privately held Austrian granite quarrying and processing company headquartered in St. Florian am Inn, Upper Austria. The company operates three quarry and processing locations — Gopperding (headquarters), Allerding, and Schrems — extracting three geologically distinct granite varieties: Schärdinger Granit (high quartz content, compressive strength of 2,000 kg/cm², exceptional freeze-thaw resistance), Herschenberger Granit (medium to coarse-grained, frost and de-icing salt resistant), and Schremser Granit (fine-grained, dense, weathering resistant). Water construction stones are certified to ÖNORM EN 13383-1 for hydraulic and civil engineering applications.

The company processes raw granite through a stationary crushing plant at Allerding and a mobile Kleemann crushing plant — comprising a jaw crusher, cone crusher, and screening system — that has been operational since December 2021 and can be positioned at the quarry face to shorten haul distances. The product portfolio spans six categories and over fifteen SKUs: crushed stone products (Schotterprodukte), broken stone and water construction products (Bruchsteine), paving stones (Pflastersteine — including "Nockerl" cobbles), edge and border stones (Leisten- und Randsteine), paving slabs (Pflasterplatten), and other granite products (Sonstige Granitprodukte). Railway ballast (Gleisschotter), base layers (Tragschichten), broken grain (Brechkorn), rock broken sand (Felsbrechsand), masonry stones (Mauersteine), setting stones (Ansatzsteine), and boulder stones (Findlingssteine) form the sub-product range.

The business runs a B2B direct-sales model in which customers — earthworks and transport companies, civil and traffic infrastructure builders, landscape gardeners and stonemasons, and homebuilders/DIY enthusiasts — purchase by weight (tonnes) or by piece, either collecting directly at the three quarry sites or arranging delivery via phone/email inquiries. Pricing is per current price list on request (net of VAT), with a €0.40/tonne energy cost surcharge introduced from April 2026 across all products except trade goods and workshop stones. The company employs approximately 73 staff across the three sites, operates as a sister company to Brauerei Baumgartner under common ownership, and has won the international Best Business Award in 2016 and 2021 for sustainable business management. In June 2026, it announced the strategic discontinuation of its in-house Werksfertigung (manufacturing/workshop operations) to refocus on core quarrying and primary processing.

Broad incumbents

• CEMEX S.A.B. de C.V. Mexican-headquartered global building materials producer with European aggregates operations. Provides competition in crushed stone and ready-mix aggregates but operates as a multinational conglomerate rather than a regional quarry specialist.
• Holcim (LafargeHolcim) Österreich: Global building materials group with Austrian operations producing aggregates, ready-mix concrete, and cement. Competes with Schärdinger Granit in aggregates and rail ballast but operates across the entire construction materials value chain at national scale.
• Heidelberg Materials (HeidelbergCement): One of the world's largest aggregates and cement producers with extensive European quarry operations. Competes with Schärdinger Granit in aggregates, railway ballast, and dimension stone, though as part of a multinational portfolio rather than a regional specialist.
• CRH plc: Global building materials group with European aggregates and concrete operations, including presence in Austria and neighboring markets. Overlaps with Schärdinger Granit in crushed stone and infrastructure materials but at vastly greater scale and broader product scope.

Regional players

• Wienerberger AG: Austrian-headquartered building materials producer primarily focused on clay bricks and roof tiles, with adjacent presence in paver and infrastructure markets. Comparable as a large Austrian-listed building materials supplier serving overlapping construction customer segments, though concentrated in clay rather than stone products.
• Kühlstein GmbH: German natural stone quarry and processor producing granite and gneiss aggregates, paving stones, and dimension stone products. Highly comparable product portfolio to Schärdinger Granit but operating in the German market rather than Austria.

Direct peers

• Hufnagl Kieswerke: Austrian sand, gravel, and aggregate producer serving the Upper Austrian and Linz region market. Direct competitor to Schärdinger Granit in construction aggregates and crushed stone products for civil engineering and building applications.
• Asamer Kies- und Betonwerke: Austrian family-owned aggregate and ready-mix concrete producer operating multiple quarries and processing plants across Austria. Direct regional competitor to Schärdinger Granit in crushed stone, gravel, and concrete aggregates serving the same Upper Austrian construction market.
• Readymix Baustoffgruppe (Heidelberger Beton): Austrian concrete and aggregate producer serving the same Upper Austrian construction market as Schärdinger Granit. Direct competitor in crushed stone and ready-mix concrete aggregates for civil engineering and infrastructure projects.

Emerging players

• Basalt-Actien-Gesellschaft (BAG): German hard-rock quarry operator producing crushed stone, railway ballast, and hydraulic engineering stones comparable to Schärdinger Granit's product range. Similar size and product mix but operating across Germany rather than regionally concentrated in Austria.
