MAUDERLI AG

What MAUDERLI AG does

MAUDERLI AG is a Swiss family-owned manufacturer founded in 1972 and headquartered in Schachen, Canton Lucerne. The company produces system solutions for civil engineering, road construction, and tunnel construction, combining three material families under one roof: plastics (tubes, shafts, manhole covers), concrete, and proprietary ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete marketed under the zeroUltraone brand and produced in a dedicated UHFB-Manufaktur. Its offering spans standardized catalog products as well as custom prefabricated components such as anti-slip slotted channels, drainage shafts, and tunnel elements engineered for high-load applications like airport aprons and major rail or road tunnels.

The company operates a direct, sales-led B2B go-to-market targeting construction companies, public authorities, and infrastructure project developers, with technical consulting positioned as a core service. Distribution is anchored by two production sites — the Schachen facility (est. 1982) and the WIROPLAST-MAUDERLI GmbH & Co subsidiary in Satteins, Austria, acquired in 1994 — and differentiated by on-site storage containers delivered directly to construction sites for just-in-time replenishment. Reference customers include Swiss Federal Railways (Schwamendingen enclosure), Zurich Airport (T50 stands), and the Brenner Base Tunnel project, indicating penetration into regulated public-infrastructure tenders across Switzerland and Austria. Pricing is quote-based with ex-works terms and raw-material adjustment clauses, and revenue is generated through one-time product sales of standardized and bespoke solutions.

In 2024, MAUDERLI's zeroUltraone platform was validated externally by the IHZ Innovation Prize from the Chamber of Industry and Commerce of Central Switzerland and the German Innovation Award, generating coverage in Luzerner Zeitung, Handelszeitung, Schweizerische Gewerbezeitung, and Radio SRF. The company is privately held with no outside institutional investment and operates with a lean 11-employee base, supplementing scale through its Austrian subsidiary and specialty manufacturing capabilities rather than through headcount expansion.

Core offering

MAUDERLI AG manufactures and supplies system solutions made from plastic, concrete, and proprietary UHPFRC (UHFB) for civil engineering, road construction, and tunnel construction. Its portfolio includes standardized and custom-made pipes (Rohre), shafts (Schächte), manhole covers (Schachtabdeckungen), and complete infrastructure systems, produced at its own manufacturing facility in Schachen, Switzerland and Austrian subsidiary in Satteins.

Product overview

MAUDERLI AG is a Swiss construction materials company offering system solutions for civil engineering, road, and tunnel construction. The portfolio consists of standardized and custom-made products including plastic tubes (Rohre), shafts (Schächte), manhole covers (Schachtabdeckungen), and complete infrastructure systems. The company operates two specialized manufacturing divisions: a Plastics Studio for custom plastic solutions and a UHPFRC Manufactory producing components from their proprietary zeroUltraone ultra-high-performance fiber composite material. Since 2020, with the introduction of UHFB, the company transitioned from a product supplier to a system provider, offering both standardized products and bespoke manufacturing for complex infrastructure projects.

Direct peers

• Steinzeug-Keramo: European manufacturer of vitrified clay and ceramic pipe systems for sewer and drainage infrastructure. Competes with MAUDERLI for the same municipal drainage and tunneling specification work, though with a different material focus (ceramic vs. plastic/UHPFRC).
• Amiblu: European producer of GRP and polymer concrete pipe systems for sewer, stormwater, and potable water infrastructure. Closely comparable to MAUDERLI's civil engineering pipe and shaft offering, particularly in the same DACH and broader European infrastructure markets.
• Hobas Engineering: Manufacturer of glass-fiber reinforced plastic (GRP) pipe systems for civil engineering, sewer, and drainage applications. Directly comparable niche specialty pipe manufacturer targeting the same infrastructure customers (municipalities, contractors, tunneling projects) as MAUDERLI's plastic pipe and shaft lines.

Broad incumbents

• Saint-Gobain PAM: Saint-Gobain's pipe systems division producing ductile iron, cast iron, and other pipe solutions for water, sewer, and infrastructure networks. Competes with MAUDERLI for the same infrastructure drainage and tunneling specifications, but at much larger scale and with a primarily metal-based product range.
• Per Aarsleff: Danish foundation and pipe solution provider active across European infrastructure projects including trenchless pipe installation and tunneling. Comparable customer base and civil engineering project exposure to MAUDERLI, though with a broader contracting and pipe-laying service offering.
• Geberit: Swiss-listed leader in sanitary and plumbing pipe systems for buildings and infrastructure. Comparable as a Swiss-based specialist in polymer-based piping/shaft systems with a much larger scale and broader product portfolio than MAUDERLI.
• Pipelife International: Pan-European plastic pipe manufacturer for infrastructure, sewer, drainage, and cable protection applications. Directly overlaps MAUDERLI's plastic pipe and shaft portfolio and competes for the same civil engineering and tunneling project specifications.
• Uponor: Nordic-based provider of plastic pipe systems for building and infrastructure applications including stormwater and drainage. Comparable in product technology and target use cases (infrastructure pipe and shaft systems) to MAUDERLI, but operating at materially larger scale.
• Wavin: Major European producer of plastic pipe systems and infiltration/sustainable drainage solutions for civil engineering and building infrastructure. Overlaps directly with MAUDERLI's plastic Rohre, Schächte, and Infrastruktursysteme lines but at significantly greater scale and geographic reach.
• Rehau: Polymer-based manufacturer of building solutions including infrastructure pipe and shaft systems. Comparable to MAUDERLI's use of advanced plastics (its Kunststoffatelier) for civil engineering components, but with a much broader construction product portfolio.
