About us

In the year 2007 the company was founded as a technical bureau by Hans Unterfrauner and developed into a GmbH in February 2015. Before that DI Unterfrauner worked for many years at the department of Forest- and Soil Sciences (Institute of Soil Research) at the University of Natural Resources and Live Sciences (BOKU), for the ÖKO-Datenservice GmbH and BoWaSan (research department of the company Bodenkalk e.Gen.).

As a member of the committee of Austrian Standards (ÖNORM) for the section „Boden als Pflanzenstandort“ and the working group „Bodenchemie“, the Austrian Soil Science Society (ÖBG) and the Alliance for Life Sciences, Food, Veterinary Expertise and Agriculture (ALVA) the bureau is very well networked. Since 2007 DI Unterfrauner is a lecturer at the University of Vienna in the fields of Soil Ecology and Soil Geography.
