As a family-owned enterprise we are global players but also closely involved in our local region; we see no contradictions here.
The Friedhelm Loh Group employs more than 12,100 people worldwide who are passionate about our combined success. Despite its size, the owner-managed group of companies has the character of a medium-sized business.
This is reflected in our team work. We get stuck in together and take responsibility. Good, long-term relationships with our employees are very important to us.
The capability and cooperation of our staff harnessed to their goal-focused motivation is a key asset of our company.
What’s so special about working for the Friedhelm Loh Group?
As well as a fair salary and attractive benefits, employees have access to a wealth of interesting jobs, exciting projects and modern working conditions.

Environment, responsibility and sustainability
As a family business, the Friedhelm Loh Group sets great store by social commitments. We have supported social projects, education and culture for many years. We are very aware that with success comes responsibility. To mark the company’s 50th anniversary in 2011, the Rittal Foundation was set up by Prof. Dr. Friedhelm Loh.
Income from the foundation’s capital is distributed each year and donated to charitable projects. By focusing on projects in the local vicinity, we underscore our solidarity with local people and our commitment to shaping and improving society.
