Unterfurtner

What Unterfurtner does

Unterfurtner Ges.m.b.H. is an Austrian metalworking company founded in 1936 in Braunau am Inn and now headquartered in St. Peter am Hart, operating from a single consolidated facility built in 2001 with a newer office building completed in 2014. The company employs approximately 90 staff under family ownership led by Managing Director Ing. Martin Denk since 2016 and delivers custom aluminum, steel, and stainless-steel fabrication across five product lines: Metallbau (structural metal construction), Maschinenbau (precision CNC machining and contract manufacturing), Alu- und Fassadenbau (aluminum windows, doors, and facade systems), Blechbearbeitung (sheet metal processing including water jet cutting), and Services (sawing, milling, drilling, and surface finishing). The technical backbone is a modern machinery park featuring 3- to 5-axis simultaneous machining centers, water jet cutting, precision sawing (tolerances to +/- 0.1 mm and parts from 4.5 mm to 14 meters), large-format sheet cutting up to 7 x 2 meters, and row punching up to 7,000 mm, all supported by CAD/CAM systems and in-house tool construction; relevant credentials include EN 1090 (SWZE and CPR WPK) and EN ISO 3834-3 welding certifications.

Unterfurtner operates a project-based B2B sales model targeting enterprise and public-sector customers, with revenue derived from one-off custom fabrication contracts and subcontract manufacturing (Lohnfertigung) rather than recurring or productized streams. Pricing is quote-based with net 30-day payment terms (2% discount within 8 days) and 10% retention holdback on contracts exceeding EUR 50,000. Customers include Salzburg AG (railway stations), ORF (broadcasting campus), Tiroler Versicherung, Wüstenrot, Raiffeisen Braunau, Hargassner, Krankenhaus Braunau, B&R Industrial Automation, Saline Austria, Auto Bierschneider, Wiehag, Hafen Wien/HQ7 Studios, and SABAG, spanning public infrastructure, banking, insurance, healthcare, broadcasting, automotive, industrial automation, and cultural-tourism segments. The company is paid according to the Austrian Collective Agreement for Metal Trades (Kollektivvertrag Metallgewerbe).

The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales combined with collaboration through architecture firms and general contractors, primarily across Austria and southern Germany (Ingolstadt, Aalen) with additional project reach into England, Ireland, and Denmark. Lead generation is anchored on the company's website (unterfurtner.at), an extensive project reference portfolio, and direct-contact channels (Sekretariat, Vertrieb, Buchhaltung, Einkauf, Personal). Notable recent projects include a 36,000+ sqm Hargassner Energy World development, a 750 m² photovoltaic facade for Tiroler Versicherung's Innsbruck headquarters, and film production halls at HQ7 Studios in Vienna, illustrating large-scale facade and structural metalwork delivery across enterprise and public-sector customers.
