Schüttflix expands to Austria

The start-up wants to digitize the building materials industry and is now also launching in the neighboring country.

At the start-up Schüttflix, customers can order crushed stone, sand and gravel digitally and have it delivered. In the future, this will also be possible in Austria. Stefan Klanner is taking on the role of country manager for the expansion and aims to achieve seven-figure sales by the end of the year. Previously, Klanner was managing director of Wastebox, a waste disposal app for construction companies.

"As in Germany, there is also enormous cost pressure in the Austrian construction industry. In addition, the topic of sustainability is becoming increasingly important. We are addressing both points and see considerable potential for improvement," says Christian Hülsewig, founder and CEO of Schüttflix.

Founded in 2018, the company sees itself as a "logistics hub" for the construction industry. The platform aims to connect contractors, building material suppliers and freight forwarders. In the app developed, users can compare prices of bulk materials and order them. According to the company, 9,000 customers and partners are already using the platform in Germany. After entering the Austrian market, the start-up also wants to expand to Poland and the Czech Republic.
