Matthäi Bauunternehmen GmbH & Co. KG is a German construction company operating throughout Europe, based in Verden (Aller), Lower Saxony. Founded in 1933 by brothers Hermann and Rudolf Matthäi, the company has a rich history and a strong focus on innovation and sustainability.

Matthäi is represented in all disciplines of construction and offers a wide range of services. The focus is on earthworks and road construction, complemented by civil engineering, reinforced concrete construction, and landfill technology. The company also produces and supplies ready-mixed concrete, asphalt, and bitumen for road construction and operates the extraction and delivery of mineral construction and natural stones from its own quarries. Additional services include safe demolition work and effective recycling[1][2].

The founding of the company dates back to the first construction project commissioned by SS Reichsführer Heinrich Himmler, the Sachsenhain in Verden. After the death of Hermann Matthäi in World War II, his brother Rudolf continued the company alone. Later, Gerhard Matthäi, the son of Rudolf Matthäi, took over the management and led the company until his death in 2007. Since then, leadership has been in the hands of the Matthäi Foundation and the managing directors Andreas Höttler and Bernd Afflerbach[1].

The Matthäi Group consists of over 70 companies that operate as independent branches or subsidiaries. The company operates quarries in Finland, Estonia, Latvia, and Poland, thereby emphasizing its international presence and commitment in various regions[1].

Matthäi stands for responsible action and long-term sustainability. The company emphasizes the importance of its history and the resulting responsibility. It is actively engaged in promoting educational institutions through the Gerhard and Karin Matthäi Foundation, which supports, among others, the Domgymnasium Verden, the Gymnasium am Wall, and the Technical University of Braunschweig[1][3].

Matthäi is committed to environmentally friendly and sustainable practices. The company ensures effective recycling and safe demolition work, which makes an important contribution to reducing environmental impact. Additionally, the Gerhard and Karin Matthäi Foundation promotes scientific research and studies aimed at long-term sustainability[1][2].

Since the 2023/2024 Bundesliga season, Matthäi has been the new main and jersey sponsor of Bundesliga club Werder Bremen, highlighting the company's strong presence and commitment in the public eye[1].

With a workforce of around 3,000 people and a 90-year history, Matthäi Bauunternehmen is a reliable partner in the construction industry, focusing on innovation, sustainability, and social responsibility.
