New hearing care professional opens in the Großenhain medical center: Shock for Radebeul!

A lot has happened in Großenhain! This Thursday, the new branch of the family business Optik und Akustik Mißbach was opened in the basement of the medical center at Katharinengasse 18. With this step, the founder and operator, Mathias Mißbach, has responded to the needs of the region and at the same time focuses on concentrating his offerings. Despite the closure of the branch in Radebeul, his company's presence in Röderstadt remains strong.

The company Optik und Akustik Mißbach, which was founded in 1963, has earned a solid reputation in the industry. It is now in its second generation and has its roots in Großenhain, where the first location was opened. In addition to the new branch in Großenhain, there are other locations in Doberlug-Kirchhain, Bad Liebenwerda, Finsterwalde and Radebeul. Mißbach offers a wide range of services in the areas of hearing acoustics and optics. The company places particular emphasis on the ongoing training of its employees as well as collaboration with premium partners to enable first-class listening and viewing experiences.

Skilled labor shortage as a challenge

A decisive factor in the closure of the branch in Radebeul was the increasing shortage of skilled workers, which affects the entire industry. According to a current study by the Competence Center for Securing Skilled Workers (KOFA) of the German Economic Institute, the bottlenecks are particularly large in the healthcare system with 47,436 vacancies. The healthcare sector is the most affected sector in Germany. Engineers, construction workers and nursing staff are urgently needed, although there are also difficulties in finding qualified specialists in ophthalmology and hearing acoustics. Demographic change is making this problem even worse.

The opening of the new branch can therefore be seen as a positive signal in an industry characterized by challenges. With individual care and modern products, Mißbach not only wants to retain existing customers, but also win new ones. In times when every industry is in a race for the few available skilled workers, Mathias Mißbach's entrepreneurial spirit and his good feeling for the needs of the region are evident here.

The further growth

With a total of eight branches, the company remains confident that it can overcome the challenges. According to the study, there are a total of around 532,000 open positions in Germany, although the need for skilled workers remains high in many areas. Long waiting lists for health services show that there is a need for action here.

Overall, the regional economy is influenced by these developments. And while Mathias Mißbach is defying these challenges with his new branch, it remains to be seen how the shortage of skilled workers will continue to affect other industries and whether other companies will find creative solutions to counter this crisis.
