Linzmeier Bauelemente

What Linzmeier Bauelemente does

Linzmeier Bauelemente GmbH is a German, third-generation family-owned manufacturer of rigid polyurethane (PU/PIR) foam insulation systems headquartered in Riedlingen, Baden-Württemberg. The company produces high-performance insulation boards, sandwich and composite panels, and prefabricated dormer building systems under the LINITHERM, LINITHERM LOOP, LITEC, LINIT, and LINIREC brands. Core technology is proprietary PU rigid foam with thermal conductivity as low as λD 0.022 W/(mK); the LINITHERM LOOP sub-line uses approximately 60% biomass content for CO2-neutral insulation. Production runs across two plants (Riedlingen and Königshofen, Thuringia), with the Königshofen site operating a modern double-belt line producing roughly 5,000 m² of insulation panels per day.

The business operates a B2B2C go-to-market through a certified specialist installer network (Fachverleger), a specialist advisor network (Fachberater) for architects, planners, and energy consultants, and five company-owned building materials retail locations (Linzmeier Baustoffe GmbH & Co.KG) in Ehingen, Laichingen, Langenau, Ochsenhausen, and Riedlingen. Pricing is quote-based with public price lists reserved for registered professional tradespeople. Revenue is generated through one-time transactional sales of insulation materials and building systems, supplemented by custom-cut LINIT panel orders.

The company employs over 300 people across the LINZMEIER Unternehmensgruppe, is led by Andreas Linzmeier and Ralf Scheffler, and holds multiple certifications relevant to the German regulatory environment (ISO 9001/14001/50001, 'pure life' environmental seal, QNG Siegel, Hail Resistance Class 5). Riedlingen operations have run on TÜV SÜD-certified hydropower since 2021, supporting the company's positioning in ESG-aligned public construction programs (KfW, BEG). Geographic focus is domestic (Germany) with an export department for international inquiries.
