LST Managing Director Dipl.-Ing. Helmut Friedl opened the celebration with a review of the company's success story and was pleased that the extension of the Vienna headquarters had set the course for the company's continued positive economic development. „With the sustainable expansion of our company headquarters, we have created the conditions for continuous expansion and also secure the location for the next generation“. The remodelling will also make it possible to take on additional employees in the future, especially in the areas of production and sales.
The highlight of the event, which was attended by Gerald Bischof, District Head of the 23rd District of Vienna, his deputy Dominik Bertagnol, Matthias Schiffer, District Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce for the 23rd District, managing directors of neighbouring companies and employees of the Vienna LST site, was the unveiling of the company logo, which now adorns the access road to the company premises. LST Managing Director Dipl.-Ing. Stefan Friedl: „It was particularly important to us to preserve the old stock of black pine trees and an old sal willow while at the same time creating more space for offices and production. The expansion is thus a clear commitment to value creation in Austria.“
After the official opening, a tour of the new building revealed a lot of interesting facts: The Labor Strauss Group, whose portfolio covers the production, installation and maintenance of fire detection and extinguishing control systems as well as emergency and safety lighting, has had one goal for almost 100 years: "The protection of people and property".
From a three-man firm to an international fire protection expert
Labor Strauss was founded in the 1920s and has grown from a three-man company to an internationally active partner for building security technology. With around 220 employees at eleven locations in Austria and Germany, LST produces high-quality and innovative products for the protection of people and values, which are exported to over 40 countries around the world.
