The Stolz company

Lava Stolz GmbH was founded back in the year 1953 by Bruno Stolz when he set up the first lava processing plant in Kirchweiler. By 1961, annual production for this plant alone had reached 100,000 tonnes. In the years that followed, the company underwent continuous expansion and further lava plants were set up in the surrounding villages. Today, this family business is in the hands of the third generation of the family and is RAL (German Institute for Quality Assurance and Certification) listed and monitored.

The company now has six sites, where around 1 million tonnes of material are extracted and processed every year, ten times as much as in the early years. Nowadays, the company also makes products such as roofing and land reclamation substrates in its own processing plants, and disused areas are converted into environmentally friendly landfill sites for mineral waste.

Company owned fleet

With increasing volumes of material being extracted, the company's fleet of vehicles has grown to its current size of 38 vehicles. Transport and logistics services have become key elements of our business operations.

In all these years, the core principles of our management team have remained unchanged. Consumer-friendly prices, environmentally friendly production methods, comprehensive service and a customer-focused approach continue to be defining features of Stolz's business philosophy to this day.

They also reflect the company's commitment to securing its own successful future and that of the Vulkaneifel region and its people.
