About Berding Beton
Berding Beton GmbH, based in Steinfeld in Lower Saxony, produces concrete products for civil engineering and landscaping. The product range comprises around 16,000 products, including paving stones, pipes and manholes, large pipes and jacking pipes, frames and concrete structures, wall panels as well as products for stormwater management and hydraulic engineering. In addition, the company supplies ready-mixed concrete. Production takes place in concrete block plants and pipe and manhole plants at numerous locations in Germany and the Netherlands; according to Wikipedia, the company operates concrete block plants at 32 locations and pipe and manhole plants at 15 locations. The concrete is used mainly in road and sewer construction as well as in landscaping; customers include building materials merchants, construction companies, municipalities and architects. Processes include the manufacture of special concrete elements for stormwater retention channels and tunnels, acid-resistant concrete (SWB), polymer concrete products for sewer construction and cement-free concrete pipes. The company was founded in 1960 and generated an estimated revenue of around €100 million in 2022 (Berding Beton GmbH without sister companies).
