Lohse GmbH

What Lohse GmbH does

Lohse GmbH is a Nuremberg-based construction and renovation competence center founded in 1908 by Alex Lohse and controlled since 1990 by the Alvarez family. Operating as a German GmbH (private limited liability company), the group is organized into seven wholly-owned trade subsidiaries covering painting (Malerbetrieb), renovation (Sanierung), roofing (Bedachungen), scaffolding (Gerüstbau), plumbing and heating installation (Installations- und Heizungsbau), electrical engineering (Elektrotechnik), and solar photovoltaics (Solar), with the Alvarez family holding ownership through the parent entity at Horneckerweg 14, Nürnberg. The company employs approximately 130 people including more than 20 master craftsmen (Handwerksmeister) across the trades, and reports parent-entity annual revenue of approximately EUR 8.5 million with group revenue above EUR 20 million.

The business delivers integrated multi-discipline services — facade work, concrete restoration, balcony renovation, thermal insulation, roofing, drywall, plumbing, heating, electrical, and complete building renovation (Komplettsanierung) — using company-owned assets including a scaffolding fleet of roughly 80,000 m², six personnel/material elevators capable of reaching 100 meters, and high-pressure water jetting equipment up to 2,500 bar. Customers are primarily regional housing associations and property managers (e.g., WBG Nürnberg, Gewobau Erlangen, Bauverein Fürth, St. Gundekar-Werk Eichstätt), complemented by commercial clients (B&B Hotel Gruppe, MPC Real Estate Solutions, Eichhorn GbR), private homeowners, and municipal/public-sector work (Stadt Nürnberg). Project sizes range from small private renovations of around EUR 20,000 to large multi-year anchors such as the EUR 4.8 million Odenwaldallee facade renovation (2020–2024).

The go-to-market is sales-led and direct: the company acquires customers via phone, email, website contact, and a documented project-references section, with no resellers or distributors. Pricing is quote-based per project, and operations are confined to the Nürnberg metropolitan area, Bavaria, and the broader Franconia region. Supply-side partnerships are limited to standard construction-materials and equipment vendors (Caparol, Falch, Hilti, Knauf, Sto, StoCretec, Alsecco, Juralith, Rygol). The firm has no external institutional investors, no public listing, and no disclosed AI/ML or software platform activity.
