In 1961, Theodor Fink founded a small civil engineering business in Waldshut-Tiengen. His son Max took over and continued the work. When Uwe Klefenz joined as Managing Director and Partner, a new chapter began – and when he took full ownership, "Fink & Klefenz" became today's Klefenz GmbH. Over six decades, it has grown into a company with over 200 employees, own locations in southern Germany, its own gravel pit and its own recycling facility. What has remained is the family leadership – and the understanding that in civil engineering, a managing director's word counts for more than any contract.

Out of many stages, something more than just a growing business has emerged. Over the years, a self-understanding has developed that still carries us today: working with both feet on the ground, taking on responsibility and never losing sight of our own standards. What brought us here also shapes how we think and act today – clear in our principles, open in our development and driven to make what already works even better.
Whether you are planning a demanding construction project or looking for a new career path – Klefenz stands for experience, reliable collaboration and a clear commitment to quality. If you want to realise a project with us or become part of our team, we look forward to starting the conversation and taking the next step together.
