history
The company was founded in Pressburg in 1870 under the name Bauunternehmung Adolph Baron Pittel by Adolph Freiherr von Pittel , a cement and artificial stone producer and the East Prussian civil engineer Viktor Brausewetter , who was then employed in railway construction in what is now Slovakia , then part of the Kingdom of Hungary .
Initially, the company was mainly active in Upper Hungary. A sewer network was built in Pressburg in 1880. With this experience, large parts of the Vienna sewer network were later built. The company continued to expand until the First World War and in 1914 had 21 locations throughout the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In building construction, the main focus was on industrial construction in conjunction with the architect Karl Mayreder . But buildings were also built in residential construction. The Looshaus was built with the architect Adolf Loos in Vienna.
In 1926 the company headquarters were relocated to Vienna. After the end of the Second World War , the plants in the former Eastern Bloc were nationalized and were therefore lost to the company. The main business now focused on Austria.
Today the focus is on the production and processing of concrete. In 2003, for example, a patent was registered for the production of roadway concrete that can be released for driving 6 hours after it has been laid. The company operates locations in St. Pölten , Tulln and Zistersdorf in Germany, as well as in Bratislava , Brno and Starnberg abroad.
