Company history
The company’s history begins with grandfather Josef Mayr. In 1928 he takes over his master’s business together with the employees.
In 1956 he and his sons, Josef ‘Peppi’ and Peter relocate to the western periphery of the village, where a new residential building and a workshop are built.
From 1961 to 2008 Josef Mayr jr., also called ‘Peppi’, takes over the company. With his children Renate and Thomas Mayr it is by now the third generation who continues the well-established firm.
Certified sculptor- and stonemason firm
We are grateful that we can take from our expertise of decades, and make use of the gained knowledge of our ancestors regarding the uniqueness of our handcraft and our favorite material: the Göflan and Laas Marble.
At the same time, we are open to new methods, and by this combine tradition with innovation, with the aim to create inimitable sculptor works of a wide range and various sizes. Each of our products is hand-crafted with great attention to detail. Whether huge or small project, we do our best to fulfill the wishes of our clients.

INSIGHTS INTO THE PAST
It is not only world-famous and almost unique: The White Gold from the Jenn Cliff massif – the marble. Highly valued by sculptors due to its beauty, the bright, crystalline limestone has been used for centuries in many parts of the world.
Due to its characteristics the white marble is ideal for being worked and processed into sculptures and busts.
And it is this activity on which our company has its main focus: sculpture works of all kinds and sizes, ranging from small figures to huge fountains and large sculptures, we do our best to make our clients happy and realize their wishes.
One of our largest works, the “3 Saligen” (a sculpture on a fountain), is located at the Rapoldi-Park at Innsbruck. Another important work of our company, an altar weighing 13.000 kilogram, can be found on the island of Borneo.
Our largest sculptor work, the “3 Saligen” (‘Saligen’ are mythical female creatures, living in the wild of the Alps, and having a shy, helpful, and wise character.)
