The start of the economic upswing is the beginning of the Eggersmann Group. The construction company Eggersmann finds its starting point in the great commitment of the company founder Karl Fechtelkord, who with a handful of employees is building up work for private, agricultural and commercial construction projects.

The first invention: the tent above the construction site. Many people may have thought it mad at the time - today it is standard. The construction company Eggersmann makes itself independent of the weather and covers construction sites with tents for an uninterrupted work.

In addition to a growing range of services, the construction company is characterized by a further innovation: The word "turnkey" is on everyone's lips, after Eggersmann takes over all architectural, planning and realization tasks from the takeover to commissioning of construction projects. To date, this principle has been a standard feature throughout the Eggersmann Group.

Agricultural production is becoming increasingly important and is being modernized in the 1980s. As an experienced construction company, Eggersmann supports customers from the agricultural sector with their expertise and know-how in their construction projects and wins new customers with great success.

With 36 years of experience in the building sector and 12 years in the agricultural sector, the company is once again expanding its commitment: Environmental technologies are a new slogan of this time - actively developed by the Marienfelder company Eggersmann. The construction of sewage treatment plants and the active development of new environmental technology procedures mark the important step in a new era, which will be of great importance for the company group later on.

The experience gained in the field of environmental technology has now been applied under the name of a new, independent company: KOMPOTEC. In cooperation with cities and municipalities, composting plants are built which produce high-quality humus and earth products from biological waste. The recycling facilities, acceptance points and sales points across the region are still known today under the name KOMPOPARK in the entire region of Ostwestfalen. With the founding of KOMPOTEC, Eggersmann has now developed into a company group.

The generation of regenerative energies and the protection of natural resources are the high demands of a whole generation, which the Eggersmann Group realizes. With the founding of Eggersmann Anlagenbau, the new process of dry fermentation for the production of biogas is put into practice for the first time. KOMPOFERM is the new process for particularly effective and constant gas production. All services for the construction of recycling and biogas plants are provided by own employees. Why? Because Eggersmann remains faithful to its principles: turnkey handover - even in plant construction!

In cooperation with the city of Rietberg, another company was founded under the direction of the Eggersmann Group: the four-star Lind hotel. As a new reference point for business travelers and private customers, the hotel becomes a highlight of the city. The complex in the center of Rietberg offers a varied range in the restaurant, hotel, seminar and wellness area. Under the direction of Eggersmann, the project will be implemented on a turnkey basis and is now operated on its own responsibility. The success of the project shows the enormous range of the Eggersmann Group.

In addition, the founding of the PantaTec GmbH within the Eggersmann Group in 2010 shows its inventive character. In the course of optimization measures within the company's own jet system, an additive is developed which removes and binds interfering oils and greases from metal surfaces and separates them from the process. This allows even greasy metal surfaces to be sand blasted and even coated directly. Meanwhile, the additive and the associated doser are marketed worldwide.

Even before the expansion of the spectrum of competences, there is no stop. With the acquisition of the operating business of the company BACKHUS from Edewecht, Eggersmann Anlagenbau BACKHUS GmbH is founded in June 2012. In addition, the integration of the professional solutions for composting, soil remediation and waste disposal brings a further dimension into the performance portfolio of the Eggersmann Group. In addition to fermentation and static rotting, the option of dynamic rotting can now be integrated into the waste treatment plants of Eggersmann Anlagenbau.

BRT Recycling Technologie GmbH, based in Ibbenbüren, is integrated into the Eggersmann Group in 2013. As a specialist in mechanical engineering in the field of sorting and recycling technology with an export share of more than 85%, the company perfectly fits the international orientation of the group.

Since the end of 2015, the BRT company and the Hartner Maschinenbau GmbH & Co. KG, which has also been part of the Eggersmann Group since May 2015, are jointly operating under the name of BRT HARTNER GmbH. The company specializes in environmental engineering and recycling machinery and is specialized in the development, manufacture and worldwide distribution of bag openers, dispensing dosing machines, bale openers, windsifters, screen drums and ballistic separators.

TerraSelect is also part of Eggersmann since 1 January 2016. The screen and separation machine manufacturer represents a successful addition to the product portfolio in the mobile machinery segment.

Two other strategic additions are being made by Eggersmann in March: In addition to the takeover of the specialist machine manufacturer for mobile and stationary shredders FORUS, the brand-name TEUTON Z 55 shredder is on the market.

This year brings some changes for the Eggersmann construction sector. For capacity reasons the construction company Fechtelkord & Eggersmann moves to a new location in Halle (Westf.). Here the elementary construction - production and use of prefabricated masonry walls and prefabricated concrete parts - is to be further developed.

In addition, the Bielefeld company Betont is integrated into the Eggersmann Group. The company produces aesthetic, handmade design elements made of concrete for interior and exterior spaces, such as furniture, sculptures, stairs, etc.
