People with visions
People with visions are the one who are behind maxit. Likewise, it was the vision of an entrepreneur to establish a market position with simple means and commitment, who was in search of people like them in Europe.
“Our particular strength lies in the high technical level that we have established. Even the density of our locations plays a deciding role. With this we can reach our customers in the shortest time and always guarantee supply capability”, said Hans-Dieter Groppweis, Managing Director of the maxit Group, which was established in collaboration with Bergmann Kalk.
A reliable partner.
For decades maxit has stood for a multitude of products and services for the construction industry and the building trade. In 1978, it began with three employees in Azendorf as a collaboration between the lime works Bergmann and Mathis; over the last 45 years maxit has developed into an international operating company with almost 1250 employees at 17 locations and a revenue of approx. 350 million euros. Today, the dry mortar factory in Azendorf alone belongs to the largest companies of the sector in the entire federal territory.
Materials and visions.
The maxit Group supplies the material on a daily basis to realise the visions held by architects and construction companies worldwide. All over the earth unique works are being erected with our building materials. Created in cooperation with experienced employees, innovative ideas and future-oriented companies.
maxit is construction.
maxit produces dry mortar and mixtures of binding agents, aggregates and additives in the most modern plants for the construction industry and provides an extensive product programme for the areas of shell construction, development and façades. Whether an interior or exterior plaster, coloured plaster finishing coat, paints, floor or thermal insulating systems: day-to-day more than 5,000 tonnes of plaster, screed and paint leave the production facilities of the maxit Group in various containers, as bagged goods in small and large amounts or in our own developed silo system.
Innovative solutions in construction.
The newest technology and computer-controlled mixing plants for dry plaster, dry mortar and screed provide the guarantee for the best product at a consistent quality. The maxit Group presents themselves with this challenge anew on a daily basis. Qualified staff ensure appropriate product safety in our in-house laboratories, continually develop new materials and thereby take account of the requirements with regard to energy-saving and environmental friendliness.
A silo for every circumstance.
For a smooth, on-schedule process of work at the construction site, maxit provides the silo. From the application of the screed over the concrete work through to the wall plaster. The maxit trained employees take-over handling on-site. With the silo technology, maxit has been able to develop an innovative solution for every construction industry demand. Around 8,000 dry mortar silos in the sales area ensure a leading position in the delivery of dry mortar products.
Central and always nearby
17 branches with centrally located production facilities and careful stock management ensure that maxit products are delivered on time.
maxit süd (south)
With its main plant in Azendorf in the Kulmbach region and its branch in Nuremberg, the maxit Group supplies the entire northern Bavarian region. From Würzburg to Ansbach. Around the clock. And 365 days a year. The southern Bavarian region is supplied by the Plattling and Niederwinkling plants. These two locations ensure the smooth processing of orders from the Lower Bavaria and Upper Palatinate regions and provide appropriate training for customers in the construction industry. Wolfertschwenden, part of the maxit family since 2025, is the location for supplying customers from western Bavaria to Baden-Württemberg. maxit süd alone currently employs around 500 people at its five locations.
maxit nord (north)
With plants in Leupahn and Dresden, maxit Baustoffwerke covers the Saxony region. More than 80 employees serve customers from across the construction and trade sectors. Further north, there are maxit plants in Landsberg and Barby – both in Saxony-Anhalt – and another in Herzfelde near Berlin. They were transferred from our partner St. Gobain-Weber to the maxit Group in 2025 and have been supplying the area up to Berlin and beyond ever since.
In the Thuringia region, two further production sites ensure the smooth delivery of our products to our customers. Our plant in Thörey is located just 14 kilometres from the state capital Erfurt. The maxit Baustoffwerk Krölpa plant in southern Thuringia, taken over by the Treuhand in 1990, is an important supplier of raw materials such as gypsum, Reagips and anhydrite. Both above and below ground, the extraction of gypsum and anhydrite is being driven forward here. A team of experienced miners ensures the careful extraction of natural resources. Each year, the Krölpa plant produces up to 100,000 tonnes of anhydrite, which is used in powder form as a raw material for the manufacture of flowing screed.
maxit west (west)
maxit west GmbH was founded in 2025 as part of the takeover of the dry mortar and facade business of Bergmann Kalk's long-standing partner St. Gobain-Weber.
The headquarters of maxit west GmbH is located in Merdingen im Breisgau, home of the former Mathis lime works, from where the south-west of Germany is supplied with the best maxit quality. Further plants are located in Mainz, Wülfrath and Buxtehude in the far north, enabling maxit west GmbH to cover the entire western German region from south to north. A total of around 400 employees work at the four maxit west locations.
maxit ost (east)
Since 1994, maxit has expanded to Czech Republic. Around 60 workers supplie the Karlsbad, Marienbad and Franzensbad region, the greater area of Pilsen right through to the capital city. In Beroun, almost 20 kilometres west of Prague, a new dry mortar factory was inaugurated in 2014.
