LAUDA HONORS ELMAR MOHR FOR 40 YEARS OF SERVICE
Decades of Commitment to the World Market Leader
LAUDA DR. R. WOBSER GMBH & CO. KG celebrated Elmar Mohr's 40th work anniversary with the company at a special ceremony. In the presence of the management team, the executive board, and several honored guests, the long-serving chairman of the works council was recognized for his exceptional commitment and loyalty to the family-owned company.
Elmar Mohr began his career at LAUDA on January 27, 1986, in the refrigeration department. Just one year later, the trained toolmaker moved to the toolmaking and prototype construction department of the development division, where he contributed his expertise for over two decades. He has served as chairman of the works council since March 2010, shaping the collaboration between management and the workforce. In addition to his role as chairman, he was a member of the editorial team of the employee magazine “WIR bei LAUDA” (WE at LAUDA) from 1995 to December 2017.
Dr. Gunther Wobser, President & CEO, praised the honoree's exceptional contributions in his laudatory speech: “Elmar Mohr combines skilled craftsmanship with outstanding business acumen. His creativity and versatility make him a valued partner for management. In negotiations, he impresses with his willingness to find solutions, remaining calm and objective while also demonstrating the necessary decisiveness and backbone. Even after his upcoming retirement, I hope to continue our dialogue.” In recognition of his many years of service, Elmar Mohr received the LAUDA Certificate of Honor.
As Chairman of the Works Council, Mohr guided the company through turbulent times and made a crucial contribution to constructive collaboration. “The tradition of toolmaking has remained important to me,” Mohr emphasized in his acceptance speech. “I have also brought this meticulous craftsmanship to my work as Chairman of the Works Council.”
Dr. Lukas Braun, Mayor of Lauda-Königshofen, conveyed the congratulations of the city and the Minister-President to the honoree. He emphasized that Elmar Mohr embodies social partnership in action and that his constructive work has significantly contributed to the positive working environment at LAUDA. This strengthens not only the company and the Lauda-Königshofen business location, but the entire region. The mayor presented him with a bottle of wine and a certificate from the State of Baden-Württemberg.
Uwe Stastny, Deputy Chairman of the Works Council, spoke on behalf of the workforce and praised the collaborative work within the council. He emphasized that Elmar Mohr had led the Works Council with foresight and a strong sense of responsibility for over 16 years. His continuous professional development and his commitment to the workforce had set a high standard.
Elmar Mohr's phased retirement begins on April 1, 2026. The passionate table tennis player and cyclist will then have more time for his hobbies.
