Optimism in the crisis: New construction company opens in Köflach
In the town of Köflach, Klaus Jürgen Scheer and Manfred Gaßner took the courageous step of founding a new company. Despite the current challenges in the construction industry, they have launched their own business, KJS Bau GmbH. Klaus Jürgen Scheer is 37 years old and comes from Köflach, while his business partner, Manfred Gaßner, is 45 years old and originally comes from Purgstall an der Erlauf in Lower Austria.
“The construction industry is out of the valley, things are slowly improving,” said Gaßner optimistically about the current market situation. This statement reflects the confidence that the two entrepreneurs have in the future development of their industry. Nonetheless, many in the construction industry are struggling with the impact of economic uncertainty.
Establishment under difficult conditions
In the midst of economic uncertainty, Scheer and Gaßner decided to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams. The decision to start a new business is particularly notable considering the construction industry has faced declines in recent years. Many companies have difficulty acquiring orders, which has resulted in an additional burden.
KJS Bau GmbH has set itself the goal of bringing fresh air into the regional construction industry and offering innovative solutions. Scheer and Gaßner are determined to realize their vision with a clear business plan and a committed team. Their common goal is to gain the trust of customers and partners while setting new standards in construction quality.
“We firmly believe that the situation will improve and we want to be part of this development,” added Scheer. Their approaches could also inspire other entrepreneurs who find themselves in similar situations and are considering whether they should take the step into self-employment.
