Stahlbau Wegscheid Gmbh

What Stahlbau Wegscheid Gmbh does

Stahlbau Wegscheid GmbH is a family-owned German steel construction company headquartered in Wegscheid, Bavaria, founded in 1997 by the Gottinger family. The firm operates approximately 18,000 m² of production space across six hall sections and processes roughly 8,000 tonnes of structural steel annually in grades S235 to S960. It serves industrial, infrastructure, and government clients primarily in Germany and Austria, with marquee customers including Voestalpine Böhler, Siemens Healthineers, Stadt München, Deutsche Bahn, Freistaat Bayern, AUDI, BMW, MAN, and PORR.

The company's operations span four core segments — Stahlhochbau (steel high-rise construction), Brückenbau (bridge construction), Maschinenbau (mechanical engineering), and Dach- und Fassadenbau (roof and facade construction) — delivered through an integrated three-stage model of Planung (planning), Fertigung (manufacturing), and Montage (assembly) executed with in-house teams. Manufacturing leverages 3D laser scanning, ERP-integrated CNC production, automated welding robots, and large-format equipment including 9kW laser cutting with automated sheet storage, milling systems for parts up to 50 tonnes (18m × 5m), portal flame cutters up to 16 × 3m, and a free-blasting hall for 36m bridge girders. Certification portfolio covers EN 1090 EXC3 (CE marking), ISO 3834-2 welding, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, AD-2000 pressure equipment, EN ISO 17660 reinforcing steel welding, and § 19 WHG water-protection specialist status. Maximum individual component handling capacity is 80 tonnes weight and 45 metres length, with guarantees of 100+ year service life for high-strength S235–S960 constructions.

Revenue is generated entirely through project-based one-time contracts determined by steel tonnage, complexity, and scope, with no recurring or subscription component. Distribution is direct: enterprise field sales to industrial and government clients, with project origination through architects, structural engineers, and construction firms. A dedicated Ingolstadt regional office serves the roof-and-facade segment with strategic proximity to AUDI, BMW, MAN, and Siemens. Marketing relies on organic social media (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok), career fair participation (Ausbildungsmesse Passau), and project portfolio visibility on the company website rather than paid acquisition. Ownership and operational control remain with the Gottinger family under Managing Director Franz Josef Gottinger, with Barbara Gottinger heading commercial operations.

Core offering

Stahlbau Wegscheid GmbH designs, manufactures, and installs custom steel structures for industrial, commercial, bridge, mechanical engineering, and building envelope applications. The company delivers turnkey projects from initial sketches and 3D planning through CNC-controlled production to on-site assembly using its own personnel. Steel tonnage per project ranges from 5 to 5,000 tonnes, with individual components reaching up to 80 tonnes in weight and 45 meters in length.

Product overview

Stahlbau Wegscheid GmbH is a specialized steel construction company offering integrated services across four core business areas: Stahlhochbau (steel high-rise construction), Brückenbau (bridge construction), Maschinenbau (machine construction), and Dach- und Fassadenbau (roof and facade construction). The company operates as a full-service provider, combining in-house planning using 3D software, manufacturing in their own production facilities (approximately 18,000 m² with 6 hall sections), and professional assembly with their own teams. Services are structured around three main service modules—Planung (planning), Fertigung (manufacturing), and Montage (assembly)—which work together to deliver complete steel construction solutions from initial design to final installation.

• Münker Stahlbau GmbH: German fabricator of complex steel structures, including bridges and industrial halls. Direct comparable on certified welding, large component manufacturing, and project delivery in the German Mittelstand.
• Maurer SE: Munich-based specialist in steel bridges, structural bearings, expansion joints, and dampers. Direct overlap with the company's Brückenbau segment and high-strength, certified-fabrication competencies.
• SEH Engineering GmbH: German steel engineering and fabrication company serving bridge, industrial, and structural steel markets. Comparable project-based B2B steel fabrication model with in-house planning-to-assembly scope.
• Kaupp + Gander Stahl- und Metallbau GmbH: Southern German steel and metal construction company covering structural steelwork, facades, and special constructions. Comparable on regional South German footprint and roof/facade capability overlap with the Fassadenbau segment.

Broad incumbents

• Bilfinger Engineering & Maintenance GmbH: Large German industrial services and construction provider with structural steel, pipework, and facade competencies. Competes on industrial and process-industry steelwork contracts; broader service breadth than Stahlbau Wegscheid.
• Max Bögl Steel Solutions: Large German construction and steel solutions group with significant steel fabrication, bridges (hybrid tower), and turnkey building capability. Operates at much larger scale but overlaps materially on bridge and structural steel tenders.
• Köster GmbH: Major German general contractor with in-house steel construction capabilities for industrial and commercial buildings. Larger and broader portfolio; comparable on industrial client base (Siemens, automotive) and integrated steel-in-building delivery.

Others

• SWG Engineering GmbH (formerly Peiner Träger / Salzgitter steel service): European steel processing and engineering services provider. Adjacent rather than directly competitive, but supplies structural steel products and engineering services used by German fabricators like Stahlbau Wegscheid.
