The family business LAMILUX has good reason to celebrate, as its managing directors Johanna and Dr Alexander Strunz were named “Bavarian young entrepreneurs of the year” at the recent Bavarian Family Business Congress at Hoch5 in Munich.

The award recognizes the commitment and achievements of the young entrepreneurs, who took the helm of the family business LAMILUX just a few days ago, according to a company release.

The award ceremony took place in the presence of top-class personalities from business, politics and the media. The award is presented by the association DIE FAMILIENUNTERNEHMER e.V. DIE JUNGEN UNTERNEHMER.

The winners of the “Bavarian young entrepreneurs of the year” category: Johanna and Dr. Alexander Strunz, who have already been working hard as part of the management team since 2019 to ensure the success of the family business LAMILUX and were officially handed over the controls of the family business by their parents last weekend.

Johanna Strunz accepted the award with visible joy and gratitude: ” Especially because the association stands for similar values as our family business LAMILUX and unites so many impressive companies behind it, this award is a particularly great honor for us.”

Strunz herself was involved as deputy federal chairperson of the young entrepreneurs for many years. “This recognition confirms us in our efforts to always live a high level of responsibility for our company and all those involved in creating value, as well as for the environment and society,” says Strunz.

As the political lobby for more than 180,000 family entrepreneurs, DIE FAMILIENUNTERNEHMER follows the values of freedom, ownership, competition and responsibility. Within the association, DIE JUNGEN UNTERNEHMER is the forum for young family and owner-managers up to the age of 40. Based on the motto freedom, property, competition and responsibility, the association takes a clear stand for a competition-oriented and social market economy and against unnecessary state intervention.

Dr Alexander Strunz added: “Our success would not be possible without the dedicated team at LAMILUX. We are proud to work with talented employees who share our vision and pull together with us. This award is an incentive for all of us to continue the positive development of the past years.”

The award as “Bavarian young entrepreneur of the year” is a confirmation of the work of Johanna and Dr. Alexander Strunz as well as the commitment of the entire LAMILUX team. The company faces the future with great optimism and plans to further expand its position as market leader.
