Vialit is an internationally active family-owned company based in Braunau am Inn, Austria. Since 1928, Vialit has been developing and manufacturing innovative and sustainable products for road construction and road maintenance, with a strong focus on asphalt, bitumen emulsions and bitumen-based solutions for road rehabilitation and new road construction.

Vialit’s mission is to combine innovation, quality and sustainability in modern road construction. By using advanced technologies, renewable raw materials and CO₂-reduced processes, Vialit helps make roads more durable, safer and more environmentally friendly while actively shaping the infrastructure of the future.

Vialit’s corporate philosophy is based on long-term partnerships, fairness and high customer satisfaction. As a family-owned business, Vialit stands for reliability, honesty, fast decision-making, flexible solutions and respectful cooperation with customers, partners and employees, regardless of project size.

Vialit offers a broad range of road construction products, including bitumen emulsions, innovative REaktivAsphalt solutions and Vialit RapsAsphalt made with renewable raw materials. These products are designed for high quality, cost efficiency and sustainability, covering a wide range of applications in road repair, road maintenance and new construction.

Quality and research are central to Vialit’s work. The company operates its own modern laboratory, continuously tests and develops its products and works with accredited testing institutes. This ensures that customers receive reliable, high-performance and field-tested solutions for professional road construction and maintenance.

Vialit’s product portfolio includes reactive asphalt, reactive products, specialty products and bitumen emulsions. These product categories cover key applications such as pothole repair, crack repair, sealing, coating and traditional road construction.

On the Vialit product overview page, users can first select their application area, such as pothole repair or crack repair. They are then shown the relevant products and can access product data sheets, technical information and practical application examples.

Vialit products are used for pothole repair, crack sealing, joint sealing, seam-edge treatment, surface treatments, sealing, coating and various road construction works. They are suitable for both road rehabilitation and new road construction projects.

Yes. Vialit provides useful tools such as material requirement calculators and CO₂ calculators. These tools help customers determine the required material quantity and evaluate the carbon footprint of planned road construction or maintenance measures.

Customers can contact Vialit’s expert team through the contact and contact-person sections of the website. There, users can find telephone numbers, email addresses and, in many cases, regional contacts for professional advice on Vialit products and applications.

Vialit offers a wide range of road maintenance services, including mechanical pothole repair with REPHALT®, mechanical crack repair with REFUG®, seam-edge treatment with REPLAST®, thin-layer asphalt surfacings such as DDK Mikrobelag® and STARFLEXX, surface treatments, bitumen emulsion tack coating and contract manufacturing.

REPHALT® mechanical is an ecological machine-applied solution for pothole repair and small-area road rehabilitation. The repair is carried out efficiently using special machinery that applies the material precisely, enabling durable and cost-effective road repairs without large-scale milling.

REPLAST® is used to seal seam edges between new and existing asphalt layers. This treatment helps prevent water penetration and frost damage, extends the service life of the road surface and improves the long-term quality of asphalt connection areas.

REFUG® mechanical is an elastic, cold-applied joint and crack sealing solution. It is ideal for mechanical crack repair, prevents water from entering the road surface, reduces consequential damage and supports long-lasting road preservation.

In addition to REPHALT®, REPLAST® and REFUG®, Vialit provides thin-layer asphalt surfacings such as DDK Mikrobelag® and STARFLEXX, surface treatments, bitumen emulsion tack coating and contract manufacturing for emulsions and specialty road construction products.

Vialit’s Research & Development focuses on sustainable material concepts and energy-efficient construction methods for future-ready roads. The goal is to address increasing traffic loads, ageing infrastructure and limited fossil resources with environmentally friendly and durable asphalt solutions.

Key innovations from Vialit include Vialit RapsAsphalt, in which fossil bitumen is partly replaced by rapeseed oil, and REaktivAsphalt, a solvent-free, cold-applied asphalt that cures quickly and efficiently. These solutions support sustainable road construction and help reduce environmental impact.

Since 1950, the Vialit laboratory has carried out experiments, quality controls and product testing. It develops new road construction products and construction methods, tests them on a small scale and ensures that they meet market requirements and customer expectations.

Vialit ensures product quality through comprehensive quality management and modern testing equipment. All production steps are monitored carefully. Construction site samples, internal testing methods and cooperation with external testing institutes provide transparent and practical quality assurance at the highest level.

Customers benefit from Vialit’s continuous Research & Development through customised, environmentally friendly and long-lasting asphalt solutions. Innovations such as REaktivAsphalt and RapsAsphalt are developed in response to real market needs and support efficient, sustainable work in road construction and maintenance.

Vialit’s environmental strategy shows how climate protection and sustainability are integrated into the company’s products and operations. This includes green asphalt solutions, renewable energy from company-owned facilities and consistent CO₂ reduction along the entire value chain.

Vialit RapsAsphalt is a sustainable road surface made with renewable raw materials such as rapeseed oil. It helps reduce CO₂ emissions, does not require a combustion phase during installation and combines strong technical performance with active climate protection.

REaktivAsphalt is a cold-applied asphalt solution that cures with water instead of solvents. This saves energy, reduces emissions during installation and makes REaktivAsphalt, like RapsAsphalt, a climate-friendly alternative to conventional hot asphalt.

Vialit operates its own hydropower plant and photovoltaic systems. A significant share of the electricity needed for production is generated from renewable energy sources, helping to reduce the CO₂ footprint of Vialit products.

Vialit invests in several environmental protection measures, including energy-efficient LED lighting, the use of recycled asphalt, solvent-free product technologies and ongoing resource-saving concepts. These measures help reduce emissions and support more sustainable road construction.

Working at Vialit means being part of an internationally active family-owned company focused on innovative and sustainable road construction products. Employees benefit from long-term perspectives, modern technologies, exciting projects in Austria and abroad and a respectful, appreciative working environment.
