What Josef Rädlinger Unternehmensgruppe does

Josef Rädlinger Unternehmensgruppe is a German family-owned construction group headquartered in Cham, Bavaria, founded in 1963 by Josef Rädlinger and led today by co-Managing Directors Josef Rädlinger and Rüdiger Altmann. The group operates across eight service divisions: Verkehrswegebau (road, rail, and hydraulic engineering), Ingenieurbau (bridges, tunnels, canal and pipeline construction, structural restoration), Netzbau (broadband expansion, horizontal drilling, cable trenching), Elektrotechnik (data, energy, building automation), Hochbau (structural shell, turnkey construction, renovation), Architektur & Immobilien (architecture and real estate development), Baustoffe & Fertigteile (asphalt, concrete, precast concrete, mineral building materials), and Inklusivleistungen (in-house surveying, materials testing, workshop, logistics). The group employs approximately 2,300 people distributed across construction sites, production facilities, quarries, and offices throughout Germany, with particular concentration in Bavaria, Saxony, and Thuringia, and project execution nationwide across 50+ cities.

The group's vertically integrated capabilities are anchored by an owned Blauberg quarry, asphalt and concrete mixing plants in Cham and Weiding, a precast concrete factory in Cham, and in-house surveying, materials testing, and logistics services. Notable recent projects include the SuedOstLink power transmission corridor for TenneT, the Realschule Vilsbiburg secondary school for Landkreis Landshut (construction started June 2025, planned completion 2028), and the Sternhof Regensburg residential development (20 QNG PLUS-certified, Effizienzhaus 40 apartments) delivered through the Rädlinger Living+ subsidiary. In April 2026 the group acquired the Bayerwald-Klinik property in Windischbergerdorf for future development, and it operates the 's Kloster employee restaurant with regional sourcing partnerships under the Bavarian Heimatteller initiative.

Revenue is generated through three streams: project-based construction contracts won via competitive tendering for public and private clients (one-time per project), residential property sales through the Rädlinger Living+ subsidiary (realized upon key-ready handover), and direct sales of building materials from the group's own production facilities to external construction customers. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales via competitive bidding, supplemented by direct-to-buyer residential sales through Rädlinger Living+ and direct building materials sales. The company is private, family-owned, with no disclosed institutional investors or stock exchange listing.
