75 Years and for Three Generations: Gravel, Sand, High-Grade Chippings and Concrete - Can enthusiasm be maintained for such a long time?

Yes, of course. The great variety of these materials generates pure enthusiasm. In 1932, Hermann Uhl laid the foundation for the family-run company, which has remained successful till today. He transported mainly construction materials in a converted moving van, and he soon had his own plant for producing gravel after a few years. Although the war and years following it interrupted business for a while, the entrepreneurial spirit continued unabated. Things already got moving again in 1949: a few plants for producing gravel were established and developed in Schutterwald, Offenburg-Waltersweier and Hohberg-Niederschopfheim.
Herbert Uhl took over running the business in 1973. Herbert Uhl, son Tino Uhl and son-in-law Florian Buchta are extremely enthusiastic today when they talk about all the things that people can do with their stone products.

Products Made of Concrete –That sounds so dull?

Not at all.. Maybe you just have to see the variety of shapes, the surfaces, the combination possibilities, and the naturally and finely nuanced colors with your own eyes once.There has been a trend – initially barely noticeable, but in the meantime a very obvious one – to high-quality design, beautiful surfaces and attractive patterns for about 30 years. The time of pure functionalism is past. Today, people want to shape their own living space with stone and not simply “fortify” it.
Consequently, new products are continually being created in the Uhl plants, which show one thing clearly in any case: they have been made without haste and with style.

Stone Creates Ambience

A public place, a home driveway or a garden: everything changes its character with the right and esthetic design. Stone can conceal many things as well as emphasize interesting features and set accents. At Uhl, they like taking responsibility and getting things done. You notice that in the cleverly thought-out product systems and the meticulous detail required to make the ambience and charm of a place perfect.

Extract Raw Materials and Process Them Creatively

The same also applies to the company itself. It is taken care of and expanded. From the outside, you see a strong company association with headquarters in Schutterwald in Baden, Germany, modern gravel and processing plants in the Upper Rhine Valley and the Verbundstein AG in neighboring Switzerland.
But the “inner life” is important for the functioning of the family-run company. A very special culture reigns at Uhl. The family, the employees, the customers and the suppliers simply expect something different, and you can also say with hesitation that all expect more: more diligence, more responsibility and more trust in dealing with one another.
Know-how is cultivated in a very special way and commitment is greater. Customers also notice that in the end, because if you take a close look, you can see how much experience is contained in the manufacture of the products.
