An innovative, successful project

Lantek was set up in 1986 and, since it came into the market, it has not stopped expanding all over the world with the aim of becoming a world leader in the development of integrated CAD/CAM and ERP solutions for the metal sector and satisfying the needs of its customers at all times.

Its vocation for development and its commitment to innovation, an area in which it dedicates between 15 and 20% of its annual turnover, as well as the continual improvement of its solutions and service, have enabled Lantek to achieve this objective.

Aware of the importance of the international challenge, since it was set up Lantek has strengthened its presence in other markets. By means of this internationalisation, it is Lantek’s aim to be present anywhere that its products are marketed, in order to be closer to its customers and provide them with added value, better after sales service and support in their own language.

Currently Lantek has offices in the United States, Germany, Argentina, Italy, United Kingdom, South Korea, France, Spain, China, Japan, India, Poland, Mexico, Turkey and the Czech Republic. It also has an extensive network of dealers all over the world.

Another of the multinational’s strong points, beyond technology, is its team of people. A solid, growing structure made up of more than 200 professional, specialists in different business areas (Engineering, Computer Science, Economics, Marketing, etc.) and with extensive experience in the sector, who turn each Lantek project into a co-ordinated, efficient process.

This exponential growth that Lantek has maintained from the start is a strong guarantee of quality and continuity for its customers.
