Laempe Mössner Sinto and Lüber launch a forward-looking strategic partnership
Rising costs, increasing complexity, global competitive pressure and technological change in the foundry industry present major challenges for manufacturers worldwide. Together, the two companies aim to continue supporting customers with innovative, reliable and service-oriented solutions in the future.
Laempe Mössner Sinto is regarded as one of the world’s leading full-service providers of core-making technology. The company develops and manufactures core shooting machines, sand preparation plants, automation solutions and systems for automatic visual inspection. As a leader in innovation, Laempe is also driving forward new technologies such as the L3D-200 3D printer, developed in-house, for versatile core production. Its target audience ranges from large automotive and commercial vehicle manufacturers to medium-sized foundries that prioritise the highest levels of precision, efficiency and process reliability.
Lüber has specialised in modular core shooting machines, mixing systems and gas generators for decades. The company serves customers ranging from medium-sized businesses to large international foundries that value robust and bespoke solutions as well as reliable service. Lüber’s particular strengths lie in the customisation of its systems to meet individual customer requirements and in their compact, flexible design.
Faster, more flexible and closer to the customer together
Through this partnership, the two portfolios complement each other perfectly: in product development, Laempe and Lüber aim to combine their expertise, test environments and development cycles to implement innovations more quickly, more cost-effectively and in a more customer-focused manner – without jeopardising existing product lines. In the production, capacities will be made available to each other as required to ensure delivery capability and flexibility even during bottlenecks and peak demand periods. In the service and spare parts business, customers will benefit from an expanded service network, a better-coordinated spare parts supply and optimised use of resources.
“This partnership is more than just two manufacturers joining forces – it is a response to the complex challenges facing our industry,” explains Andreas Mössner, Managing Director of Laempe Mössner Sinto. “Together, we can react more quickly to market changes and continue to offer our customers excellent solutions.”
’s Wilhelm Bovens, Managing Director of Lüber, adds: “Our close geographical proximity and our complementary market segments make this collaboration strategically sound: we are enhancing our flexibility, safeguarding specialist expertise in the region and thereby delivering immediate added value for our customers. With a view to succession planning, I also wish to ensure the long-term survival and further development of my company. In Laempe Mössner Sinto, we have found a reliable, qualified partner with whom we can very effectively shape a forward-looking collaboration.”
The geographical proximity of the Schopfheim and Bazenheid sites facilitates operational collaboration, and the different market focus ensures that there is no cannibalisation, but rather genuine complementarity. The partnership is a step towards a long-term, future-proof strategy in industrial mechanical engineering.
