In new company leadership role, James Loffler is dedicated to shaping the future of Loffler Companies’ corporate vision and culture, and building on its success as the Upper Midwest’s premier business techonology and services provider.

James Loffler, President of Loffler Companies, has been recognized as one of the 500 Most Powerful Business Leaders in Minnesota by Greenspring Media, a division of Minnesota Monthly. To evaluate how powerful and influential the considered leaders were, evaluators looked at their record of innovation and legacy, dedication and passion, industry drivers and community contributions.

The Minnesota 500 began as a list of more than 7,000 executives across multiple industries in the state of Minnesota. After months of research and extensive use of existing databases on behalf of this organization’s editors, they culled this down to the Top 500. They used a host of criteria in the process, looking at everything from the impact each executive has on their industry as a whole, the success and impact the company itself has under his leadership, special awards or accolades in the executives’ professional and personal lives, participation in community and philanthropic endeavors, position on other boards, and several other factors.

“I am so very honored to be named to the Minnesota 500 list. I started working at Loffler Companies as a kid, alongside my dad, and grew up in the business,” James said. “Leading the company into the future is something I’ve worked toward for a long time, and am committed to working with the amazing team at Loffler to preserve the award-winning culture and innovative business technology Loffler is known for.”

James’ leadership contributes to a work environment that has earned Loffler various industry distinctions, along with a place on the Star Tribune’s “Top Workplace” list for ten years and Minneapolis St Paul Business Journal’s “Best Places to Work” for four years.

A family-owned and nationally recognized leader in business technology and service, Loffler Companies has a 35-year history of giving back to the community, supporting many great causes including Ronald McDonald House, Susan G Komen Race for the Cure, Special Olympics Minnesota, Coco’s Heart Dog Rescue, Memorial Blood Center, Hope for Children, Feed My Starving Children, and more.
