Ludwig Blasy GmbH & Co KG

Ludwig Blasy GmbH & Co KG is an Austrian family-owned company in the reinforcement steel (Bewehrungsstahl) sector, based in Austria and operating under the brand ARGE Baustahl Eisen Blasy-Neptun GmbH. Its roots go back to 1949, when DI Erwin Blasy founded what the company describes as the first iron bending works (Eisenbiegerei) in Austria — a pioneering step for the domestic construction steel industry. The business began with the processing and bending of reinforcing steel for concrete construction and later expanded into trading in reinforcement steel, broadening its service offering for construction clients. A major turning point came in 2001, when Eisen Blasy GmbH merged with Neptun Eisenhandels GmbH, a pure trading company and a subsidiary of Voestalpine Stahlhandel GmbH. This merger strengthened the company and opened new opportunities in steel trading, resulting in the combined operation known today as ARGE Baustahl Eisen Blasy-Neptun GmbH. The company presents itself as a certified expert for reinforcement steel, serving construction projects with prefabricated reinforcement products such as reinforcement cages, welded components and related steel solutions. In recent years the company has invested in sustainability and production efficiency. In 2014 it installed a company-owned photovoltaic system on an area of 2,000 m² with an output of 300,000 kWh per year. In 2018 its plant was connected to the freight rail network to make material supply more environmentally friendly, and in 2021 it set up dedicated welding stations to prefabricate products such as reinforcement cages more efficiently and precisely. The company markets itself under the ARGE Baustahl brand, emphasizing quality, competence, motivated and well-trained employees, and fast implementation of construction projects. As a family-run Austrian business, Ludwig Blasy GmbH & Co KG remains a private company. Its official website is blasy.at, while the operating brand ARGE Baustahl maintains its own site at arge-baustahl.at. The company is active primarily in the Austrian market and is positioned as a specialist and certified partner for reinforcing steel and concrete construction supply.

The history of Ludwig Blasy GmbH & Co KG is closely tied to the Austrian reinforcement steel industry. In 1949, DI Erwin Blasy founded the first iron bending works (Eisenbiegerei) in Austria, a pioneering achievement for the domestic construction steel sector. The company began by processing and bending reinforcing steel for concrete construction, establishing a family-run tradition that continues today. In 1959, the business successfully expanded into trading in reinforcement steel. This allowed the firm to broaden its offering and provide customers with a more diverse service, combining processing with supply. A decisive step came in 2001, when Eisen Blasy GmbH merged with Neptun Eisenhandels GmbH, a pure trading company and a subsidiary of Voestalpine Stahlhandel GmbH. The merger strengthened the company and opened new opportunities in the trading segment, resulting in the combined operation known as ARGE Baustahl Eisen Blasy-Neptun GmbH. In the 2010s and 2020s the company invested in sustainability and production efficiency. In 2014 it installed a company-owned photovoltaic system on an area of 2,000 m² with an output of 300,000 kWh per year, supporting its sustainability strategy. In 2018 its plant was connected to the freight rail network to make material supply for the iron bending works as environmentally friendly as possible. In 2021 it set up special welding stations to further optimize production processes, enabling more efficient and precise prefabrication of products such as reinforcement cages. Today the company operates under the ARGE Baustahl brand, describing itself as a certified expert for reinforcement steel and emphasizing quality, competence, motivated and well-trained employees, and rapid implementation of construction projects. It remains a family-run Austrian business.
