The group has several subsidiaries including, EPLAN, which provides software and service solutions, Stahlo, which provides steel-related services, LKH, which provides innovative plastic product solutions, and Loh Services, which provides central business services for the Friedhelm Loh Group.

Car collection

Loh owns one of the world’s greatest private car collections called the Loh Collection. It recently became the world’s newest automotive museum, located in Germany.



 

It has an extraordinary collection of over 150 cars with some of the most significant machines in the history of the automotive world, including Le Mans-winning Audi, Fangio’s 1957 German Grand Prix-winning Maserati 250F, the last Lincoln Continental exited by John F Kennedy before his assassination in 1963, Michael Schumacher’s first World Championship-winning Formula 1 Ferrari and the one-off Maybach Exelero concept car, per Forbes.



 

It also includes former F1 world champion, Niki Lauda’s personal BMW M1 Procar racer, giant-killing Jagermeister BMW 320 Group 5 racers, a Ford GT40 Le Mans racer, and the Dodge Avenger used by Dale Earnhardt to win his last IROC title.
