Company Overview and History
LANTZTECH, a family-driven company based in Halmstad, Sweden, has been a prominent provider of industrial machines and equipment since its founding by Urban Lantz in 1989. Initially focusing on hydraulic crimping machines, the company has evolved significantly, integrating advanced technologies such as vision and measuring solutions by 2001 and introducing its proprietary ARC control system in 2003. LANTZTECH transitioned to fully electric crimping machines in 2018 and achieved ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications in 2022. Now led by the next generation of the Lantz family—Daniel Lantz (CEO), Christoffer Lantz (CTO), and Louise Lantz (COO)—the company maintains a commitment to in-house production, with nearly 100% of its machines manufactured in Sweden, ensuring superior quality and reliability for a global clientele.
