What Schreiber Baustoffe GmbH does

Schreiber Baustoffe GmbH is a family-owned German building materials retailer (Baufachmarkt) and tile specialty center (Alb-Fliesenzentrum) headquartered in Gammertingen, Baden-Württemberg. Founded in 1955 by Walter Schreiber and incorporated in its current legal form in 1994, the company operates two retail locations — Gammertingen (a 10,000 sqm site built in 1979) and Albstadt-Ebingen (acquired in April 2003 from Bauzentrum Hermann) — and has been managed since 1994 by second-generation family members Alexander Schreiber and Adelgunde Eymer as Geschäftsführer.

The company stocks approximately 16,000 articles spanning tiles (~800 varieties on display), roofing and insulation, doors and Hörmann sectional garage doors, tools, construction chemicals, interior and shell construction products, and a wood and garden market department (opened 2005). Distribution is supported by a company-owned fleet of four vehicles including crane trucks, enabling just-in-time delivery and a floor-level placement service (Etagen-Service) to construction sites, supplemented by an outside sales team covering a ~100 km radius and weekly Sunday show days (Schausonntag) at the Gammertingen tile exhibition.

Revenue is generated primarily through on-premise retail sales of building materials to tradespeople, contractors, and private homeowners, with custom quotations tied to project scope. The company has been a member of the Baustoffverbund-SÜD purchasing network since May 1995. No external funding, no digital platform, and no AI/technology capabilities are disclosed; the business model is built on physical showroom scale, expert consultation, and logistics proximity within a defined regional catchment.
