Skilled, confident employees, who work with great loyalty and motivation to ensure the success of "their" company, form the cornerstones of the success of every business. However, the business needs to play its part too.

Oskar Lapp and his wife Ursula Ida already took this concept to heart when their workforce consisted of only a handful of workers and these ideas were considered to be completely alien by other firms.

Forward-looking investment to support employees continues to play an important role, even today. As such, continued and further training in a technology-driven company such as LAPP is absolutely essential.
