Theme series: People at Loibl
Category: Career, Company | | Created by Lea PfingstenChris (32), project manager at Loibl Förderanlagen GmbH:
„At Loibl, we all have each other's backs and always have an open ear for our colleagues.“
At Loibl, Chris was given responsibility early on. An advantage and privilege, he thinks. "The high degree of independence gave me confidence in my own abilities. In addition, it has driven out my fear of approaching strangers." Chris communicates with international customers and suppliers on a daily basis. No problem for the native of Straubing. "Over the years, a routine has developed that gives me confidence even in difficult situations." Most of all, however, Chris likes to pore over his engineering program. He works with a focus on detail. Complex tasks excite him. As product manager for conveyor systems at Loibl, he is involved in numerous projects every day.
Secretly, however, he raves about wet slag conveyors. "My engineer's heart beats faster with wet slag conveyors: massive construction, unique and complex, and with high drive power - that's exactly to my taste." Despite his attention to detail, Chris never loses sight of the big picture: "At Loibl, we create system-relevant machines and systems that enjoy a high global standing. I can't describe it any other way, but it really is a kind of happiness when you see the machines that you have planned and designed yourself and as a team in painstaking detail take shape in the workshop and go into operation on site at the customer's premises."
Creating something real that lasts. An important driver in Chris' life. And also an important part of the Loibl company. Made in Germany, founded more than 60 years ago at the Straubing site, the plant manufacturer's machines still stand for above-average robustness, quality and durability. It is the Loibl team that continues to keep this spirit alive. "There are really rarely any problems with us," says Chris.
"If something doesn't go quite right, we discuss it immediately as a team. We all have each other's backs and always have an open ear for our colleagues." Especially in the technical office, where Chris works, you can feel the cohesion, because everyone there is part of a sworn community. "The people at Loibl have always been great. The fact that we can all rely on each other so well is worth its weight in gold," says Chris.
According to Chris, the flexible work schedule at Loibl is also worth its weight in gold. "I'm a family man. Especially during the vacation season, something unplanned sometimes comes up. A quick call and I'm working from the home office - very uncomplicated and definitely a relief." After the summer vacations, Chris's 8-year-old son gets to try out a music school for the first time. "He's inherited our musical talent, but I'm hoping he won't learn drums." Chris played drums and electric guitar himself for years, making a loud noise to his parents and the surrounding area.
In the meantime, they are permanently on the road with their motor home and enjoying their well-deserved retirement. For the time being, Chris prefers to spend his free time at home in Straubing together with his wife, also a technical draftswoman, and their son together. Both are important pillars in his life. Chris associates Straubing with his home, his family and his work. A trinity in which the work is Chris's insider tip. "Loibl should not be underestimated." That from the mouth of a self-confessed pessimist? You can't get more authentic than that.
