Wierig Gruppe

What Wierig Gruppe does

Wierig Gruppe is a family-owned German provider of industrial and commercial flat roofing, waterproofing, integrated photovoltaic systems, and roof management services, headquartered in Siegburg and operating nationwide since its founding in 1893. The company's core offering centers on new construction, renovation, and waterproofing of industrial and commercial flat roofs, using materials and systems including EPDM, PVC, FPO, bitumen, and liquid-applied waterproofing (PMMA, PU, UP), delivered alongside integrated photovoltaic installation through its solar energiezukunft GmbH and KRAFTWERK Solutions GmbH subsidiaries. Specialty capabilities include proprietary sensor-based roof monitoring (R.O.S.I. passive sensors using the HV SLD method, ROOF PROTECTOR active sensors), aerodynamic PV mounting systems, KRAFTDACH ice-energy storage for combined solar, heat pump, and thermal storage operation, and TRGS 519-compliant asbestos remediation.

The business operates a project-based B2B model with direct enterprise sales targeting industrial facility owners, logistics operators, automotive manufacturers, retail chains, and food retailers. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time project contracts for roof construction, renovation, and PV installation, supplemented by recurring maintenance and monitoring contracts via Wierig Services GmbH, and by liquid waterproofing services via Wierig Liquid GmbH. Pricing is custom and project-quoted rather than published. The company serves enterprise customers including Deutsche Post DHL (over 20 parcel centers, >150,000 m²), Mercedes-Benz (Germersheim logistics center, 100,000 m²), BMW (Regensburg, 100,000 m²), Globus, Hornbach, and other major German commercial and industrial operators.

Wierig is led by fourth-generation family members Thomas and Christoph Wierig alongside managing directors Michael Huhn and Matthias Weik. Since 2025 the group operates as part of dach energiezukunft GmbH (DEZ-Gruppe), a holding that also includes JNS Dachtechnik and Schmidt Bedachung Hamburg. Distribution is delivered through the Siegburg headquarters, branch offices in Plankstadt (Mannheim region, since 2010) and Wolfsburg (since January 2025), plus group locations in Hamburg and Munich. The company employs over 200 people at the Wierig level and over 300 across the DEZ-Gruppe, and holds DIN EN ISO 9001:2015, DIN EN ISO 45001:2018, Poyry prequalification (since 2016), RAL Gütegemeinschaft Flachdach membership, and the Creditreform CrefoZert (top 2% of German companies) certification obtained in January 2026.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• BMI Group (Braas / Icopal): Pan-European roofing and waterproofing incumbent (including German heritage brands Braas and Icopal) covering pitched and flat roofs across residential, commercial, and industrial segments — broader scope than Wierig but overlapping directly in commercial flat-roof waterproofing.
• KÖSTER Bauchemie AG: German manufacturer of waterproofing systems (bitumen, liquid plastics, injection sealants) for roofs, basements, and infrastructure — comparable to Wierig on the waterproofing technology side, particularly the liquid-applied membrane portfolio at Wierig Liquid GmbH.
• Centrotec Sustainable AG: German publicly listed group focused on energy-efficient building technologies including heating, ventilation, and climate systems — comparable to the heating/cooling/KRAFTDACH component of Wierig's integrated roof-energy offering.
• Sika Deutschland GmbH: German subsidiary of Sika AG, supplying roofing membranes, liquid-applied waterproofing systems (Sarnafil, SikaRoof), and sealants — comparable to Wierig on the materials/waterproofing side, though Sika operates primarily as a manufacturer/supplier rather than an installer.

Emerging players

• 1Komma5° GmbH: Berlin-based German solar and heat-pump installer with a rapidly expanding franchise model across Germany — directly comparable to the PV/heat-pump integration that Wierig's KRAFTDACH concept addresses, though with stronger consumer-brand momentum and capital access.
• Enerix Franchise GmbH: German photovoltaic specialist with a regional-franchise model focused on residential and commercial rooftop PV — overlaps with solar energiezukunft in the German rooftop-PV installation market, particularly for flat-roof commercial customers.
• Enpal GmbH: Leading venture-backed German rooftop-solar installer offering leasing/PPA business models, increasingly active in commercial flat-roof PV — competes with Wierig's solar energiezukunft subsidiary on the same German rooftop PV opportunity.

Direct peers

• Wilhelm Müller GmbH & Co. KG: German family-owned flat-roof contractor (founded 1907) specializing in industrial and commercial flat-roof waterproofing, renovation, and maintenance — comparable scale and operating model to Wierig, including recurring roof-management services.
• Paul Bauder GmbH & Co. KG: One of Germany's largest flat-roof and waterproofing specialists, offering bitumen, plastic, and liquid-applied membranes plus insulation systems for industrial and commercial buildings — directly comparable to Wierig's core Industrie- und Gewerbeflachdach offering.

Regional players

• Bühler Bedachungen GmbH & Co. KG: Mid-sized German flat-roof and metal-roofing contractor serving commercial/industrial customers — comparable in service scope (waterproofing, PV, maintenance) and customer type to Wierig, though smaller in scale.
