ÖSTU-Szczecin
ÖSTU-Stettin is an Austrian construction company that has been part of the HABAU group since 2008 . The headquarters are in Leoben in Styria.
The company deals with all construction areas and specializes in tunnel construction , shaft construction and mining . The older part of the company was founded in 1911 as ÖSTU , an abbreviation for Österreichisches Schacht- und Tiefbauunternehmen , and mainly dealt with mining. The younger part of the company, called Stettin , was founded in 1953 as the building construction and civil engineering division . In 1995 the merger to ÖSTU-Stettin took place. In 2009 the company employed around 600 people who generated around 150 million euros.
The company became known to a wider public when, in the course of the rescue operations in the San José mine disaster in October 2010, employees of the company, which is also active in Chile, were used with their winches to pull up the buried miners . Not the company itself, but the three employees, Peter Laschober from Burgenland, and Heinrich Tilz and Johannes Pemberger, both from Carinthia, were subsequently awarded the Gold Medal of Merit of the Republic of Austria .
