History speaks
Everything started in the early 1990s when four brothers migrated to Germany from their homeland, Kosovo, which was then under occupation. Despite facing difficult financial conditions and lacking support, they arrived in Germany with empty hands but with a dream and the determination to achieve it.
They began with shovels and simple tools, and with just five workers, they soon grew into a serious company, which today boasts numerous successfully completed projects. Founded by the Viqa brothers in 1994, AWR Abbruch is now known for its reliability, guaranteed quality, and adherence to delivery dates throughout Germany.
Ongoing investments in machinery and other work tools ensure seriousness and safety in our operations. Today, major project developers, institutional investors, banks, insurance companies, chemical industries, and leading construction firms make up the majority of our family business's clients.
The consistent presence of AWR Abbruch GmbH in major projects such as airports, industrial facilities, and protected areas highlights the company's reliability and integrity. With double-digit annual turnover in millions, the company is now one of the market leaders in the German demolition industry.
