Group
Vision
A growth-oriented
As any group, we have an entrepreneurial agenda whose goals we want to achieve. However, the management of the LASSELSBERGER Group attaches great importance to involving employees on a self-reliant basis, always making decisions by accounting economic, social and ecological aspects.
Due to the continuous expansion of product deliveries to companies from a wide range of industries such as automotive, glass fiber, paper and refractory industries, the LASSELSBERGER Group is becoming increasingly independent of the construction and building materials industry. In addition, market leadership in many areas, combined with decades of production experience and long-term secured raw material reserves, guarantee the successful growth of the entire group of companies.

Lasselsberger Group
The LASSELSBERGER Group is one of the leading manufacturers of raw materials, building materials, and ceramic tiles in Europe and parts of Asia. The production sites of the three divisions Minerals, Building Materials, and Ceramics are mainly located in Central and Eastern Europe. The wide range of products is sold on both local and international markets, with a focus on Western Europe.
Today, the LASSELSBERGER Group represents a multinational group which is managed mainly decentralized from its headquarters in Pöchlarn (Austria) in accordance with central corporate guidelines. The 100% family-owned company places a strong focus on the different local and regional needs and challenges of the individual entities.
The cornerstones of success are vertical integration of the various production stages within the Group, short supply chains, a stable ownership structure combined with clear economic goals without “short-term thinking only in quarters” as well as a permanent increase in efficiency and risk diversification. This enables the Group to develop in a long-term, sustainable, growth-oriented and resource-saving manner.
History
From a local family business
to a European leader
The LASSELSBERGER Group was founded in 1957 by Anton Lasselsberger Sr. as a sand and gravel company and expanded ten years later with the commissioning of a concrete factory. Shortly after the fall of the Iron Curtain, the founder’s sons seized the great opportunity to establish new companies in Eastern European countries. In 1990, they acquired raw materials and building materials companies in Hungary and Slovakia, entered the cement business in Romania and founded a 50:50 joint venture with the German Knauf Group in selected countries. From 1998, the LASSELSBERGER Group acquired all leading ceramics companies in the Czech Republic, which already have more than 140 years of tradition in the production of ceramics. These companies were not only large ceramic tile producers – they also owned large raw material mines for the extraction of clay, kaolin, feldspar, limestone, sand and gravel. Today, the Group owns one of the largest kaolin sites in the whole of Europe.
Between 2003 and 2004, the Group also took over the leading ceramic tile producers in Hungary, Romania and Slovakia with all their raw material deposits. Following this acquisition phase, the structuring of the three business divisions Raw Materials, Building Materials and Ceramics was completed. From 2006, production capacities were expanded at various locations and the market in Russia was developed. In addition, further sand and gravel companies and kaolin producers in Central and Eastern Europe were acquired from 2015. In 2020, the company entered the white cement business. The most recent history was characterized by further investments in modernization, capacity expansion and increased efficiency at the existing companies as well as selected expansion activities in Asia. Since 2025, the Group has also established its own site in Uzbekistan, where dry and wet building materials as well as calcium carbonate are produced. All activities of the LASSELSBERGER Group are driven by the desire to further strengthen and continuously expand existing market positions on the one hand, but also to exploit selective market opportunities on the other.
