LOWA continued to grow and grow, but the great distances between the different factory units soon became untenable. New factory premises were needed, but where to find them? The county capital came up with the offer of a site on their new industrial estate but it was Jetzendorf that the company finally opted for, thanks to the influence of Lederer´s wife Berti and the offices of the town mayor. 1977 saw the construction of two new factory units and a garage building on the new site. The external units were closed down and everything brought back to Jetzendorf.

And this way LOWA continued to expand. A three-year construction programme gave rise to a collection of factory buildings that is impressive even at first glance. The 2, 305 sq. m. stores represent the last word in logistics. There is a new and friendly feel to the reception area, production, admin, syndicate and meetings rooms and canteen. The thing we are really proud of is the fact that all the renovation and building work was carried out with ergonomic considerations as the baseline criteria, true to the company´s philosophy of putting people first. Today, LOWA has at its disposal a total of 6, 206 sq. m. of workspace – and we will need every square centimetre, for we are again on course for expansion!
