history
Katharina Loacker laid the foundation stone for today's group of companies back in 1876. At that time, she used a ladder cart , in front of which a goat was harnessed , to travel through the Vorarlberg Rhine Valley and mostly collected scrap iron. Reinhold Loacker joined the company in 1938, his wife Maria Loacker in 1951. In 1962 the name of the company was changed to Reinhold Loacker Eisenwaren . A few years later in 1969, her son Michael got into the business. In 1974 construction work began on today's company headquarters in Lustenauerstrasse and the installation of a 500-ton scrap shear. In 1979 the company name was changed to Reinhold Loacker GesmbH and the sons Michael and Karl Loacker took over the joint management. In September 1979, at the age of 27, Michael Loacker took over sole management with 20 employees at the time. Numerous company acquisitions and investments in German-speaking countries followed. The first shredder system went into operation in 1986. The entry into renewable energies took place in 2010. Today the company operates six photovoltaic systems in Germany and Italy. Michael Loacker retired from the management in 2012. Karl Loacker has headed the company since then.
