A family business with dedication. Building vertically for over three decades.
Bitschnau is not a big corperation – and that is by choice. As a family-owned company from Vorarlberg, we stand personally behind every project. Our management knows every construction site, every team, every challenge. This closeness builds trust – among our employees just as much as among our clients. In an industry where anonymity is often the norm, we rely on direct accountability and the personal integrity of a handshake.
Safety first
Everyone goes home safe
Slipform construction means working at great heights and under changing conditions. For us, safety is not a box-ticking exercise but the framework within which everything else takes place. From the MONOBOX® as a complete protective enclosure, to rigorous training protocols, to personal protective equipment – we invest in systems that prevent accidents before they can happen.
Uncompromising quality
Precision down to the millimetre
Our formwork systems are not bought off the shelf – we develop them ourselves. Stainless-steel panels, high-strength cylinder formwork, aluminium load-bearing systems: 30 years of slipforming experience are built into every component. The result is seamless, plumb-true structures with surfaces that speak for themselves. Our clients know: what Bitschnau delivers, endures – in dimension, quality and schedule.
Innovation born from experience
In-house developments that change the market
BETOMAT®, MONOBOX®, MULTIBOX®, stainless-steel panels, LNG tank formwork – our innovations are not born in the laboratory but on the construction site. We identify problems before the client articulates them and develop solutions that work in practice. This sets us apart. At Bitschnau, everything comes from a single source – development, manufacturing and deployment.
Sustainability in construction
Less material, less waste, longer service life
Slipforming is inherently resource-efficient: seamless construction reduces rework, shorter build times lower energy consumption, and our formwork systems are designed for numerous deployments. Our aluminium components are fully recyclable, our stainless-steel form panels are extremely durable. For us, sustainability is not a marketing buzzword – it is built into the system.
Partnership on equal terms
We think ahead – from planning to disassembly
Our project managers are not administrators – they are solution orientated. We advise our clients from the planning phase onward, optimise construction sequences and, upon request, take on the full scope of work: formwork, concrete placement, embedded components, curing and disassembly. Many of our clients have been working with us for decades. That does not happen by chance.
