In 1978, Jens Friedrich and Norbert Lochner founded the eponymous company "Friedrich + Lochner". In the domestic use and also among the customers, the name "FRILO" developed over time. After the withdrawal of Norbert Lochner from the operative business, Jens Friedrich continued to run the company. He laid the foundations for a secure future, and so, in 1999, FRILO was integrated into the Nemetschek Group as an independent brand.
