2024 was an eventful year for the LAMILUX Heinrich Strunz Group, characterized by global crises and economic uncertainties, the company said.
While the German economy recorded a decline of 0.2%, companies were confronted with rising energy costs, increasing bureaucracy and cautious consumer behavior. Despite these difficult conditions, LAMILUX was able to increase sales by 0.9% to EUR 357 million and increase the number of employees to 1,335, including 91 trainees. A key factor in this success was the company’s consistent focus on customer needs, enabling LAMILUX to reach important milestones. Particularly noteworthy are the record sales in the skylight systems segment and the successful securing of the market position in the respective business areas, the report said.
People as a key to success: Development & support at LAMILUX
The commitment and expertise of its employees are central to LAMILUX’s success. In 2024, the company increased its staff from 1,276 to 1,335 – a clear indicator of sustainable growth. LAMILUX aims to create an environment that fosters both professional and personal development for its employees.
However, it is not only experienced specialists who benefit from the development opportunities – young talent also plays a key role. With a consistently high training rate of seven percent, LAMILUX underlines its responsibility for the next generation. The award-winning EDUCATION for EXCELLENCE (E4E) training program is a particular flagship. It goes far beyond traditional specialist training and places a strong focus on personal development.
Established employees also benefit from targeted development opportunities. In 2024, a new round of TRAINING for EXCELLENCE was launched, offering tailored pathways for experts and leaders – whether in specialist roles, leadership positions or project-based careers. The program’s content supports both individual growth and the overall success of the company.
This commitment to a positive workplace culture was officially recognized in 2024: the employer review platform kununu named LAMILUX a Top Company 2024 – an accolade awarded to only 5% of companies on the platform, the company said.
“Together with our committed and efficient team and a clear growth strategy, LAMILUX has not only managed to grow in terms of turnover, but also increased market share further strengthening our position, even in a difficult market environment,” said Alexander Strunz, managing director of LAMILUX. “Over the past ten years, the family-owned company has achieved sales growth of around 88%. This success is the result of the consistent implementation of the customer-centric Customised Intelligence (CI) philosophy, which always focuses on customer benefit. LAMILUX not only fulfils the wishes of its customers, but also offers them individual solutions for their specific requirements.”
“By focusing on technical innovations, process optimization and cross-business model solutions as well as the high level of expertise in both divisions, we have not only been able to assert ourselves as a performance leader, but have also established a solid market position through continuous further development,” said Johanna Strunz, managing director of LAMILUX. “LAMILUX offers customized products and solutions that create added value and make the family business a preferred partner for many companies.”
