Our main product is Schöck Isokorb® - a load-bearing thermal insulation element preventing thermal bridges on cantilever elements, such as balconies, parapets, access balconies or canopy roofs. With more than 12,000 standard types and solutions for use in concrete, steel and wood, Schöck is the leading specialist in this sector, both for new construction and for renovation projects. Other business areas focus on reinforcement technology for industrial, tunnel, bridge and infrastructure construction or building power plants.
In addition to product innovation, Schöck also places a strong emphasis on service – from our complimentary expert engineering and design services to our custom thermal modeling and signed and sealed drawings. We build true value into what we do, as well as how we do it – supporting quality products with quality service.
Eberhard Schöck, company founder
Our focus is always on people. This is why we encourage a social attitude among people – both within our company and in all areas of society.
As far back as 1992, Eberhard Schöck demonstrated that commercial success was not the only thing that mattered to him and his family when he set up his nonprofit trust, the Eberhard Schöck Foundation. He has donated most of his share capital to the trust, which is funded from the dividend payments.
Social commitment is equally important for Schöck as a company, as is environmental protection and quality management.
We strive to protect the environment by using environmentally compatible materials and processes in production and managing an environmentally sustainable fleet. Our environmental objectives include measures to reduce energy consumption. For example, we generate energy from photovoltaic plants, and environmental and health & safety issues play a huge role when erecting new or modifying existing buildings.
Two trusts – the Eberhard Schöck Foundation and the Schöck Family Foundation – are the largest individual shareholders of Schöck AG. As a result, a large part of the economic success of the company is donated directly to charity. The actions of the Eberhard Schöck Foundation are guided by the motto "Change through education". Projects primarily support the building trade in Central and Eastern Europe. The trust is also active in Germany, where it awards the Schöck Bau-Innovationspreis (Schöck Award for Innovation in Building and Construction) and the Kulturpreis Deutsche Sprache (German Language Culture Award). The Schöck Family Foundation was founded in 2012 and sponsors education and vocational training projects for children, teenagers and young adults in Germany, India and Nepal.
