The Waibel KG is a German building materials company based in Gernsheim , which via a connected cruise line offers. The medium-sized family company was founded in 1946 by Reinhard Waibel (1920–2003) in Neckarsteinach . The barges of the building materials company (sand, gravel, grit, concrete), which has also been active in recycling since 1985 , operate on the Rhine .

Companies

Waibel KG has been a family-owned, medium-sized company in the building materials market since the 1950s . The company has been registered as a limited partnership since 1972. Waibel KG manages its own shipping company and several port facilities . In addition, the Waibel group of companies holds 88 percent of the shares in the Gernsheimer Rheinhafen , which is considered the only access of the state of Hesse to the port cities of Antwerp and Rotterdam by water. It was made profitable again by Waibel KG in the 1990s .

The product range is in the field of building materials and, since 1985, in the recycling of construction site waste , excavated earth and old building materials. In addition, is bulky waste recycled by the company. The shipping company operates its own grab excavator in Oberhergheim, France , which is used to extract building materials.

The company was founded in Neckarsteinach in 1946. It was not until 1957 that the company moved to Gernsheim. That is why a harp is integrated into the shipping company flag of Waibel KG, as the harp of the minstrel Bligger von Steinach represents the coat of arms of the city of Neckarsteinach.

Waibel KG comprises a total of 12 subsidiaries and is involved in seven other companies.

A representative of Waibel KG has been a member of the Biotechnology and Environment Committee of the Federal Association of the German Ready-Mixed Concrete Industry since 2016 .

Container terminal

In 1993 Waibel KG founded the Gernsheimer Umschlags- und Terminalbetriebsgesellschaft (GUT) together with the shipping company Haniel . As a result, container throughput increased in the Gernsheim ports . For example, the containers are loaded with recycling material obtained from PET bottles and exported to China .

GUT's range of services includes picking , packing and unpacking. Thus it is possible that the ships, which regularly operate between the North Sea and the Gernsheimer Rheinhafen, can do their duty without loss of time.
