STRABAG subsidiary Metallica Stahl- und Fassadentechnik GmbH independent from 2020
Previous unit of STRABAG AG, Austria, to be managed as an independent subsidiary
Metallica has been the Austrian market leader in steel, aluminium and glass façade construction for years
Next strategic step: specialisation and internationalisation of the façade construction business
Vienna, 16 January 2020---STRABAG, the European technology group for construction services, is strategically realigning its façade construction business. Starting in 2020, the façade construction entity of STRABAG AG, Austria, will be managed as an independent subsidiary based in Vienna under the name Metallica Stahl- und Fassadentechnik GmbH. STRABAG Metallica has been the Austrian market leader in steel, aluminium and glass façade construction for several years. The entrepreneurial independence is the next step in the further specialisation and internationalisation of the façade construction business.
“Façades are the shaping element of any building and define the skylines of the big cities of the world. Modern architecture relies on a high level of light and openness. At the same time, high energy efficiency in the sense of sustainability is absolutely necessary. A steel or aluminium glass façade fulfils all of these requirements and is therefore much more than just a building envelope,” explains the technical managing director Jürgen Laky.
Although the market in this segment is developing quite rapidly, there are still few companies that plan and implement more complex designs. Metallica Stahl- und Fassadentechnik GmbH realises all types of steel or aluminium glass façades and covers international projects of all sizes. At Metallica everything comes from a single source: from planning and production to the assembly of the façade elements. Inhouse planning and estimation teams, two production sites in Hungary and Austria, and trained assembly teams ensure that Metallica can always implement the façade elements in the best quality.
“Aluminium, steel and glass construction requires a high degree of specialisation, as it is often a matter of realising very complex structures. Nationally and internationally, our high level of specialisation, supported by the comprehensive know-how and support of the STRABAG Group, is a unique selling point. The independence of the new company should also underline the degree of specialisation, allowing us to address specialists even more directly than before,” says Peter Tropper, the company’s commercial managing director.
STRABAG SE is a European-based technology group for construction services, a leader in innovation and financial strength. Our services span all areas of the construction industry and cover the entire construction value chain. We create added value for our clients by our specialised entities integrating the most diverse services and assuming responsibility for them. We bring together people, materials and machinery at the right place and at the right time in order to realise even complex construction projects – on schedule, of the highest quality and at the best price. The hard work and dedication of our more than 75,000 employees allow us to generate an annual output volume of around € 16 billion. At the same time, a dense network of numerous subsidiaries in many European countries and on other continents is helping to expand our area of operation far beyond the borders of Austria and Germany.
