LOBA: Focus on Sustainability and Innovation

LOBA draws a positive conclusion of 2024 and continues to set stand-ards in sustainability and innovation at the company and product level

LOBA GmbH & Co. KG, a manufacturer of premium products for surface finishing and care, can look back on a thoroughly successful business year in 2024.

In a challenging market environment, the medium-sized company expanded its business in Europe by almost ten percent. “We are also very pleased that we were able to gain further market share in Germany in collaboration with Wakol,” explains Managing Director Mario Probst. The successful launch of EasyFinish Neo, the most sustainable 1K wood floor finish with 2K performance, also contributed to this. Made from renewable raw materials, it saves a total of 25 percent CO2 compared to the industry standard. By the time the trade fair began, 100,000 m2 of surface had already been finished with it.

 

Outstanding: location development at Headquarters

 

Thanks to solid economic management in recent years and the support of ARDEX and Wakol, the LOBA Center for Research & Development in Ditzingen is the largest investment in the history of LOBA. The new three-story building is being constructed according to the strict guidelines of the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB) and has already received DGNB pre-certification in gold for its sustainable construction. In order to minimize the building's ecological footprint, LOBA is relying on intelligent energy concepts and environmentally friendly materials. With the new center, LOBA is creating the conditions for a sustainable future and strengthening its position as a reliable economic partner in the region – as well as a global player for innovative surface finishing products in the three business segments Professional, Industrial and Home.
