The company was founded in 1923 by Wilhelm Geiger as a timber trading and haulage company. Today it is run by the fourth generation.

Geiger began mining gravel in the 1930s and built gravel works in Betzigau and Sonthofen after the Second World War . In the 1970s, Geiger developed into a construction company. In the 1990s, the environmental technology business area was added and the Romanian subsidiary Geiger Group Romania was founded. In 2002 the group had 50 subsidiaries and associated companies with 1,600 employees. In 2008 the subsidiary Geiger Bauwerksanierung was established.
