Overview

Glass Bauunternehmung, formally Glass GmbH Bauunternehmung, is a family-owned German construction group headquartered in Mindelheim in the Unterallgäu district of Bavaria. Founded in 1948 by Helene and Albert Glaß, the company began by producing masonry blocks and ceiling beams in the 1950s, then expanded into civil engineering, prefabricated housing, and industrial construction in the 1960s after building a concrete precast plant. In the 1970s the company moved its headquarters to a new 175,000 m² site in the Mindelheim industrial area, where administration, production facilities, a ready-mix concrete plant, and a precast concrete plant are now located. Today the Glass Firmengruppe operates as a group of companies active in industrial and commercial construction, structural engineering, turnkey construction, precast concrete production, civil engineering, and bridge construction. Its main focus is industrial and engineering construction. The group employs 927 people across seven locations and serves industrial clients, private customers, and public-sector clients, operating from its home region to other parts of Europe. Key group companies include Glass GmbH Bauunternehmung in Mindelheim with a branch in Munich, Glass Ingenieurbau Leipzig GmbH with a branch in Berlin, KREUZER GmbH & Co. KG in Bad Wörishofen, and Baumeister Herbert Maier Bau GmbH in Bad Wörishofen. Additional business fields include the operation of wastewater treatment plants through Glass GmbH & Co. Umwelttechnik KG in Bad Wörishofen and real estate activities including construction and brokerage. The company has been led by Dieter Glaß, son of the founders, as managing partner since 1986, and remains in the ownership of the Glaß family, now in its third generation. Its corporate culture emphasizes transparency, fairness, reliability, partnership, and efficiency. The group positions itself as a reliable partner for construction projects, stressing long-term thinking and repeat business.

History

Glass Bauunternehmung was founded in 1948 by Helene and Albert Glaß in Mindelheim, Bavaria. In the 1950s, the company initially produced masonry blocks, particularly hollow blocks, and ceiling beams. During the 1960s, it expanded into civil engineering, prefabricated housing, and industrial construction after building a concrete precast plant. In the 1970s, the company moved its headquarters to a new, larger 175,000 m² site in the Mindelheim industrial area, where administration, production facilities, a ready-mix concrete plant, and a precast concrete plant are now located. Since 1986, Dieter Glaß, son of the founders, has been managing partner of the group-leading Glass GmbH Bauunternehmung. The company remains owned by the Glaß family and is now led by the third generation. Over the decades, the group has grown through the addition of subsidiaries and affiliated companies, including Glass Ingenieurbau Leipzig GmbH, KREUZER GmbH & Co. KG, Baumeister Herbert Maier Bau GmbH, and Glass GmbH & Co. Umwelttechnik KG. Today, the Glass Firmengruppe is active nationwide in Germany, with a focus on turnkey industrial construction, and also operates in other construction sectors such as specialist civil engineering, bridge construction, parking garage construction, and residential building. It produces precast elements including tubbings for tunnel and subway construction and element ceilings. The group employs 927 people at seven locations and serves industrial, private, and public clients, with projects extending from its home region to other parts of Europe.
