From 1924 to 1927 he worked as a technical designer in a German manufacturing company, before becoming responsible for product design and engineering at Loeblich & Company
In due course, gas became the most popular form of energy for household heating in Austria and many countries in Europe. Among Loeblich"s customers were Austria"s federal presidents Adolf Schärf, Franz Jonas, Kurt Waldheim, and Thomas Klestil, and Hungarian president János Kádár, prime minister Bruno Kreisky, and vice-chancellor Alois Mock. Loeblich obtained many public awards during this period.
Married to Elisabeth Goetz (1899–1987), Loeblich was the father of three children: Maria, Konstanze, and Max.
Loeblich died in 1984 and is buried in Weidling near Vienna in the family grave, the first work of architect Robert Oerley.
The Federal Union of Coppersmiths became under Nazi rule (1938–1945) part of a German craftsmanship representation, in which Loeblich (despite not being a member of the Nazi Party), was elected chairman, representing the coppersmiths.
