A global champion
with a family tradition
Friedrich Graspointner sen. founded the family-run Graspointner concrete plant in Oberwang, Austria, in 1963. Much has changed since then: the small manufacturer of concrete products for the local market has developed into a globally successful medium-sized company with around 350 employees. We have established 16 international subsidiaries and distribute our products in over 37 countries.
But one thing has not changed: BG-Graspointner is and remains a family-run company. Today several members of the founding family work in various areas in the company – keeping the tradition of our success story alive.
We continue to develop: each and every day we work to improve our products and to acquire new, satisfied customers around the world. After all, families like to grow.
Global presence
based on performance.
As a medium-sized, integrated group, the BG-Graspointner Group has firm roots in its home region as well as a successful global presence.
The combination of concrete-based, sustainable and highly innovative materials with well-engineered and intelligent designs are both the tradition as well as the future of the company.
The BG Way gives us a compass that guides our group – which has expanded to 37 countries around the world.
Whether in Austria, Canada or Romania, our sustainable and innovative drainage systems, traffic systems and railway systems are a perfect fit anywhere in the world. They reliably ensure dry and safe runways, roads, tracks, pavements, squares, terraces and balconies.
We have built up a comprehensive sales and service network so that you can experience quality and design Made in Austria – all around the world.

When environmental protection
is part of the DNA...
Sustainability is one of the most important elements of our corporate culture. This can be seen from the materials, the manufacturing processes and the energy used. After all, we are a member of the Climate Alliance Austria, the country’s largest climate protection network, for a reason.
The company’s success and development will always be closely connected to its responsibility to society – and for the environment. After all, what good is a huge profit if you can’t bare to look at yourself in the mirror at the end of the day?
For this reason, the sustainable use of our environment is a key element of our corporate culture and more than just a marketing promise:
When it comes to our production processes, we focus on the highest possible level of environmental protection, from the selection of raw materials through to avoiding excess waste. With this in mind, we have implemented a certified environmental and energy management system in accordance with ISO 14001 and 50001 at our location in Oberwang, Austria.
with a view to protecting people and nature. We develop our products with the aim of maximising their performance. And by performance, we also mean protecting people and the environment as much as possible.
we are committed to the use of recyclable raw materials. Most of our products are manufactured from mineral raw materials or metal. They are therefore 100% recyclable and can be assigned to quality class U-A according to the certification by the Salzburg Institute for Construction Engineering Research (bvfs), a state-accredited test and research facility for building construction and building materials.
We rely on the use of green energy. With our BG-FILCOTEN® channels we even use 100% renewable energies.
The BG Way.
We believe that a company needs a solid bedrock of values to ensure lasting success. These values develop organically from the company, from its tradition, its goals and its unique character.
In our company, this bedrock of values is based on innovative strength and, above all, sustainability. They build on our traditional connection with our home region and the surrounding nature as well as the innovative spirit that led to the foundation of this company – and which is still going strong. One is only made possible by the other:
The BG Way is specified in three guidelines that form the basis of all our actions:
When developing products, we are committed to maximum performance and sustainability.
All of our actions are based on the value of fairness – towards our employees, customers and business partners as well as nature.
Satisfied customers are the goal as well as the reason for the existence of our company, so we constantly strive to identify and meet the requirements of our customers.
