What is different about working with us?

More than half of the more than 12,000 employees in our Group work outside Germany. Due to the global outlook of our customers and the sheer variety of industries involved, our activities are becoming increasingly international.

This creates an environment that offers a diverse range of opportunities and prospects, including in terms of intercultural collaboration. You will get to know new people, markets and cultures and lay the foundations for your own career – regardless of whether you are a trainee, student or professional.

Since 1961 we have been redefining the future. Our staff around the world work with a great deal of commitment and enthusiasm for technical progress, continuous growth and thus for a bright future. Find out more about new products, current projects and innovations in our customer magazine be top!

In 2023, the Friedhelm Loh Group was presented with the “Employer of the Future” award by the German Innovation Institute for Sustainability and Digitalisation. A special focus in the two-stage review process was on the innovative strength of our Group.

In 2023, the Friedhelm Loh Group has also been awarded the “Best Place to Learn” seal of approval for its in-house training. A survey of young professionals and trainers confirmed the Group provides first-class conditions in terms of induction, training course content, practical experience and professional outlook.

As one of the top employers the Friedhelm Loh Group manages an own institute for further education. The Loh Academy is, since 2002, the major facility for trainings and study programmes as well as in personal development within the Friedhelm Loh Group.
Offering over 100 different training units and modern training options for the general staff, individual teams and specific divisions, the Loh Academy provides thereto additional tailor-made units and quality developments in education.

Currently about 200 young people are starting with their apprenticeship and work related studies in not less than 20 professions for their active job career.

Connecting at an early stage theoretical studies with job experience in practical issues? We provide this service by the dual study “StudiumPlus” in more than 10 study subject titles for about 90 students – perfect chances and possibilities for an ideal career start.

The Loh Academy creates the conditions for attractive and successful careers.

We are interested in long-term working relationships and want you to enjoy taking on the tasks and challenges you will face. We understand that, for that to work, the conditions have to be right. That is why we have spent many years ensuring our employees can balance their career with their home life.

Our flexitime and job-sharing models give you freedom and flexibility. This helps us build bridges between business needs and our customers’ requirements on the one hand, and the personal needs and aspirations of our staff on the other. In certain cases we may also offer the opportunity for home working, for example.

Besides offering commensurate pay, we also create optimum conditions for our employees’ working environment. That includes offering a whole range of voluntary social benefits.

Focused commitment from the workforce is essential to the success of the Friedhelm Loh Group. That is why our remuneration model also includes variable components such as employees sharing in the overall success of the Group.

We all spend a big part of our life at work. Doesn’t it therefore make perfect sense that we should shape our working environment so that it actively helps us stay healthy?

As part of our occupational health management activities, we create the conditions that ensure our employees stay healthy in the workplace. Besides occupational health and safety and occupational integration management, our health management system also incorporates a whole range of measures designed to promote healthy working practices. This means we can help our staff make a great start back at work after an illness and even help them improve their health through targeted preventive measures.

Values such as corporate social responsibility have been a focus for the family-run Friedhelm Loh Group for more than 50 years. “We are aware of our responsibility to the environment and society in which we live. We want, therefore, to take part in shaping and improving it!” This fundamental company principle reflects our view that success brings with it responsibility. That is why we are committed to social projects, education and culture, for example.
