Tobias Eder
Tobias Eder quite literally “grew up” at Bergmeister Leuchten. He was already working at the forge at the age of 16. After completing his apprenticeship, he continued his education in lighting technology and computer-aided design. He earned his master craftsman certification and worked as a workshop foreman.
Since 2011, Tobias Eder has been shaping the future of the company as Managing Director, first alongside Hans Lohmair and now with Simon Hochreiter. He is fully responsible for the entire order process, from customer contact and design planning to the final hammer stroke. When it comes to his goals, Tobias is clear: “Anything that leaves the workshop must meet the highest quality standards.”
