Early business areas
Around 1880 the company Freytag & Heidschuch was already operating under the name of „Cementröhrenfabrik“(Cement Pipe Factory) and „Baumaterialienhandlung“ (Trading Company for Construction Materials). Besides the construction of concrete structures and canal works, the company was still trading in construction materials, especially gypsum, clay and Portland cements, but also paving slabs, fountains and feeding troughs for horses.
The company was originally active in the area around Neustadt a. d. Haardt, but due to high demand later took on contracts from all parts of Palatinate and expanded towards the neighbouring federal states of Hesse, Baden-Württemberg and Alsace-Lorraine.
