50 years of success: Matthias Looft celebrates his anniversary and looks ahead!
On January 3, 2025, the company Matthias Looft Elektromeister e. K.'s 50th anniversary. The company was founded in 1975 by Jürgen Looft, who laid the foundation for today's success with his craftsmanship and passion. He found support in his wife, who organized and actively worked in the background.
The company grew quickly and established a value base based on quality, reliability and customer proximity. In 2005, Matthias Looft took over the family business and led it through various challenges, including modern technologies, digitalization and the increasing shortage of skilled workers. The company always remained true to its traditional values and continued to develop with foresight and flexibility.
Anniversary celebration and acceptance speech
In his anniversary speech, Matthias Looft thanked customers and partners for their loyalty and trust. He praised the team for their commitment and professionalism, which contributed significantly to the company's success. The company offers a comprehensive range of services in electrical installations, new buildings and renovations of old buildings and is also active in the repair and maintenance of household appliances. Matthias Looft emphasized his company's many years of experience and technical expertise in building technology.
Another aspect that affects the industry is the increasing shortage of skilled workers in the electrical trade. According to a report by electro.net There are currently around 86,000 skilled workers in the electronic trades, a number that is trending towards increasing. In 2022, there were 29,229 journeymen in the electrical trades alone who were wanted for basic tasks, while 6,038 master positions remained unfilled.
Alexander Neuhäuser, who became the new managing director of the Central Association of German Electrical and Information Technology Trades (ZVEH) in 2022, is calling for a turnaround in education to upgrade vocational training in the trades. The ZVEH emphasizes the need for a dual training system and the equality of vocational and academic education in order to overcome the challenges of the shortage of skilled workers.
