Josef and Maria Rabmer found the company and employ two people. In the early years, earthmoving, transportation, river regulation and drainage are among the main fields of activity.

1969

1969

Rabmer soon demonstrates a flair for innovation and is the first company in Austria to work with a special drainage caterpillar that can be used to dig and lay in a single work step. This was used on construction sites throughout Austria and Germany.

1973

1973

Rabmer begins with the construction of water and irrigation pipes, sewers, culverts and cable laying. In the following years, this area develops into the company's main area - numerous construction sites are carried out throughout Austria. Rabmer becomes known for always finding an optimal solution for even the most difficult projects.

1978

1978

Rabmer is expanding its range of services to include the municipal sector and is now reliably taking care of snow clearance and gritting. Other services such as manhole cover lifting and ditch clearing will follow.

1980

1980

Rabmer enters the container and formwork construction sector as well as the building materials trade. A short time later, building construction also becomes a central field of activity. Under the motto "Everything from a single source", this area is constantly expanded - Rabmer develops into a regional specialist for building construction.

1984

1984

Rabmer recognized the importance of environmental protection early on and started with environmental technologies for water and wastewater. Rabmer also introduced the first TV inspection camera for pipelines in Austria. This made it possible to immediately determine the location and type of damaged areas in non-accessible pipes.

1988

1988

Rabmer once again demonstrates its pioneering spirit and launches technologies for trenchless pipe rehabilitation. New processes and materials are developed and highly complex projects are mastered with enormous innovative strength. Rabmer becomes a pioneer and leading provider of pipe rehabilitation technologies in Europe.

1991

1991

Rabmer very soon recognizes the opportunities presented by the opening up of Eastern Europe and starts with foreign construction sites in Hungary, the Czech Republic and Poland. The number of inquiries gradually increased and in the following years, subsidiaries were founded in Hungary (1992), the Czech Republic (1994) and Italy (1999).

2000

2000

Rabmer expands its range of services to include timber construction and carpentry. Together with Altenberg master carpenter Gottfried Riener, r&r Holzbau is founded. The company offers the following services: Roof trusses, roofs and roofing in a wide variety of designs, drywall and roof extensions, ceiling and wall constructions made of wood, wooden facades, wooden terraces, balconies, extensions and additions, various objects made of wooden elements, such as garden houses, carports, pergolas, wooden houses and halls. This once again makes the Rabmer Group a full-service provider in the regional construction sector.

2002

2002

The company founders Josef and Maria Rabmer retire as shareholders and from the management. They hand over to the next generation, the siblings Josef Rabmer jun. and Ulrike Rabmer-Koller, who have been with the company for many years.

2002

2002

The environmental technology sector is strongly promoted - Rabmer gradually expands this business area to the whole of Central and Eastern Europe. Further subsidiaries are founded in Romania (2002), Ukraine (2002) and Slovakia (2003) and many challenging projects are completed in the former East.

2009
January 01, 2009

As part of a reorganization of the Rabmer Group, the core business in the local construction sector is transferred to independent companies. This creates a good basis for further growth in this area.

Another subsidiary is founded in Germany.
