Our locations - an overview

The first thoughts about setting up a dry mortar factory in Lower Bavaria in order to be able to supply the eastern Bavarian region were already put on paper in 1990. On 1 January 1995, six sales employees began to work the market between Ingolstadt and Passau. Despite a recessionary trend in the construction industry at the end of the 1990s, sales had stabilised to such an extent that construction of the factory in Niederwinkling began in 1997.

A milestone was reached in 2000 when the sales team from Hacker-Heidelberger was integrated. The customers could be optimally looked after and supplied with the maxit products. The maxit brand established itself in Lower Bavaria as the market leader.

In order to inform our customers in a more targeted manner, in 2005 a property was rented in the neighbourhood surrounding the Niederwinkling factory and converted into a training centre. In 2009, we were able to extend our sales area further south and acquired three employees from the then maxit Deutschland. Silos from Niederwinkling could be seen as far as Berchtesgaden.

The growth in terms of customers, turnover and sales since the millennial also required more capacity in the office. Architectural consultation and object tracking were complimented by the classic office work duties. In order to fulfil the space requirement from the growth, at the beginning of 2015 the converted training centre was obtained as the new training and sales centre.

The Franken Maxit branch in Nuremberg has been in existence for more than 20 years and is an integral part of our company's sales and logistics concept. In recent years, the branch has developed into an important point of contact for dealers and processors and is frequently visited by companies operating in the Nuremberg-Fürth-Erlangen metropolitan region.

In the Nuremberg warehouse, all products of the core range of the Franken Maxit are available and thereby available at short notice where they are required. For some systems, for example for the floor, Nuremberg is the central warehouse for all sales territories of Franken Maxit. In the sales department there are four employees, who provide advice over the phone and in person, take orders, order-pick deliveries, shade soft plaster and paint, produce plaster and paint samples and where required, are also responsible for the construction-site application.

The sales of the sales territory centre also has its site at Nuremberg. Thus the employees of architectural consultation, construction consultation, area sales management, object sales, sales management and sales assistance have an office here. For customer training or information events, there is a training room with corresponding technology as well as surfaces for practical demonstrations available.

Due to the optimal accessibility by car, ICE fast train or aeroplane, the Nuremberg branch is likewise used as a central contact point for in-house or company-wide meetings.

The plant, located in Plattling in Lower Bavaria, is situated in the town's industrial area in the immediate vicinity of the Deggendorf–Munich motorway. As part of a corporate investment in 2001, the former HeidelbergCement plant was integrated into the maxit Group.

Plattling is specialised in pluscalc and gypsum bound products, as the size of the mixer of 4,500 l is optimal for the manufacture of large batches in this production sector. Six employees produce over 40,000 tonnes of material per year. The main share of which is silo goods, which is supplied to customers in the main delivery area of the factory in the south-east region of Bavaria.

The location has been additionally reinforced over the last few years. In 2014, interior construction took place in the office and social spaces. The factory was furthermore technically optimised through the assembly of a modern 4-nozzle Roto Packer as well as a palletiser and stretcher.

The Wolfertschwenden plant is located directly on the A7 motorway in the Swabian district of Unterallgäu. Transferred to the maxit Group in 2025 along with seven other plants, the site specialises in lime-cement plasters, but also self-levelling screeds, concrete (screeds) and masonry mortar.

The plant was founded in 1995 as a location of maxit Germany, later belonged to Heidelberger and was taken over by Saint Gobain-Weber in 2008. In the first year, the focus was exclusively on bulk goods – the 3-nozzle Roto Packer, a special design from Haver & Boecker at the time. With this equipment, the plant achieved a record output of 132,000 tonnes in 2000 before becoming a Heidelberger plant. A few years later, in 2008, the Wolfertschwenden plant was taken over by Saint Gobain-Weber.

Today, the plant employs over 20 people and has a sales team of around ten, with an average annual capacity utilisation of approximately 60,000 tonnes.

The factory in Leupahn was erected within six months of construction (February to mid-July) in 1992. The location is positioned conveniently between Chemnitz and Leipzig (15 km exit Geithain until the A72 and only 25 km until the A14 exit Grimma).

The annual tonnage is 135,000 tonnes as part of a flexible double-shift system. The entire production from 1992 until the middle of 2015 was 4.15 million tonnes. Specific products of the Leupahn factory are restoration plaster, cement and calcium sulphate flowing screed, SLK products and coloured masonry mortar for listed buildings.

Only 15 km from the state capital Erfurt in Thuringia, in the industrial area "Erfurter Kreuz", where the A4 and A71 motorways intersect, the maxit plant Thörey is located. After only a few months of construction, the factory was able to produce its first tonne of dry mortar in November 1994.

Around 30 employees ensure the production of maxit products in bags and silos every day. In 2014, the factory had a general overhaul with an investment of approx. 1.2 million euros and the Roto packer, palletiser, in-house sand dryer and both of the bucket conveyors were renewed.

In recent years, the Thörey plant has specialised in the production of tile adhesives and the corresponding coloured grouting material. Day-to-day the factory produces 350-400 tonnes of screed, plaster and masonry mortar in the two-shift operation. The annual tonnage nowadays is approx. 65,000 tonnes.

The Dresden dry mortar factory was inaugurated in July 1992 as a production facility of the Baustoffwerke Dresden GmbH & Co. KG. Its location, in close proximity to the city of Dresden and the A4 federal motorway with the “Dresden-Hellerau” junction, enables particularly short delivery times to our customers.

The high demand of the production raw material “quartz sand” is sufficiently covered by the corresponding mines in the immediate catchment area. The plants of the Dresden factory are optimised for the production of base coats, mineral finishing coats, specialist products for the restoration and renovation areas as well as for products surrounding the area of thermal insulation systems. In order to guarantee this variety of products, three mixing plants and a sand processing plant were installed in a mixing building with which about 75,000 tonnes of material was produced into 2001.

In 2000, Franken Maxit took over the Dresden factory from Heidelberg Cement. Since then the Dresden factory, as a component of the maxit Baustoffwerke, has been supplying the market in eastern Saxony. With around 85,000 tonnes of dry mortar products produced each year, the maxit plant in Dresden plays a significant role in the economic success of the group.

The Landsberg plant began operations in 1993 and became part of the maxit Group in 2025, along with seven other Weber plants. Founded as a paint factory by widu-Farben with three mixers and three raw material tanks, it is now maxit's specialist for paste-like products. Paste-like finishing plasters, primers, paints, paste-like adhesive and reinforcement mortars, liquid sealing films and fillers – many of these products from maxit originate in Landsberg, just outside Halle (Saale).

The plant in Landsberg, located directly on the A9 motorway, has undergone considerable investment over the years. In 1999, a silo tower, two mixers and four tanks were added, in 2007 a finished goods warehouse was built and, most recently, in 2019, a mixer and four additional tanks were added.

Currently, more than 20 employees in Landsberg ensure smooth production and flawless paste products in maxit quality.

More than 20 employees produce masonry mortar, concrete, base coats, adhesives, lime plasters and special plasters at the Barby site in the Salzlandkreis district (Saxony-Anhalt).

The plant was built in 1993, expanded in 2009 and became part of the maxit Group in 2025, together with the plants in Landsberg, Herzfelde, Buxtehude, Wülfrath, Mainz, Merdingen and Wolfertschwenden. Every year, the plant in Barby delivers up to 110,000 tonnes of top-quality dry mortar.

One of maxit's newest dry mortar plants is located in Herzfelde, Brandenburg, east of Berlin. Equipped with a heated warehouse and sand drying plant, it has been producing interior and exterior plasters, coloured fine plasters, adhesive and reinforcement mortars, concrete and masonry mortar since 1998.

The history of the Herzfelde plant began in 1996 with the start of construction of the plant, including distribution and storage facilities – at that time as the location of Terranova. In 2010, the plant was expanded to include an open-plan office for customer service and internal sales, and in 2015 it was equipped with a sand drying plant. When Saint-Gobain Weber GmbH transferred its dry mortar and facade business in Germany to the maxit Group in 2025, responsibility for the plant was also transferred to the maxit Group.

Since its opening in 1998, the Herzfelde plant has produced approximately 1.5 million tonnes of dry mortar.
