About Lengel
Lengel GesmbH, based in Schwadorf near Vienna, produces Class A+ organic quality compost as well as garden and lawn soils, raised-bed soils, intensive and extensive substrates, underground-car-park substrates and larch bark mulch made from it. The raw material is recyclable organic and green waste from the region, which is processed into compost with a grain size of 0–12 mm in the company's own composting plants in Schwadorf and Markgrafneusiedl. In addition, ready-made turf is grown in the lawn 'wellness center' in Schwadorf on the company's own compost. Through Marchfelder BioEnergie GesmbH, the company operates a biogas plant in Markgrafneusiedl, whose biogas enables part of its own truck fleet to run CO2-neutrally. The portfolio is complemented by grass seed, fertilizers, rental equipment (sod cutter, lawn roller), an installation service, and deliveries throughout Austria within 2–4 working days. Customers include gardening and landscaping, horticulture, and residential and infrastructure projects such as roof and underground-car-park greening; the reference project is the residential park 'An der Lände' in Vienna (2019).
