An innovative company with a history: LUKAS-ERZETT from the greater Cologne area
A company’s history often reflects its values, visions and developments. At LUKAS-ERZETT, these elements are closely intertwined and shape the company’s identity as an employer and global player.
The history of LUKAS began back in 1937, when the company was founded in Engelskirchen, near Cologne. A company specialising in the manufacture of tools. The Lukas brothers gradually expanded their product portfolio. With their many innovative ideas, passion, and initially a good deal of local “roll-your-sleeves-up” attitude, they built up an industrial company that operated far beyond its regional borders and soon entered the international market. The LUKAS brand steadily grew and established itself as a quality leader in the manufacture of tools and machines for metalworking, mould making and other branches of industry. Today, LUKAS-ERZETT is an internationally operating company specialising in manufacturing, retailing and offering consulting services for grinding, milling, polishing and cutting tools, as well as power tools, and is distinguished by unrelenting innovation and a clear commitment to sustainability.
Attention was paid early on to investing in state-of-the-art production and sales locations, which today enables LUKAS to offer its customers worldwide high-quality products and services. Cutting-edge production and sales locations in England, Spain, China, the Czech Republic and South Africa form the backbone of a strong international presence. The global locations reflect the company’s conviction that safety, ethics, sustainability and openness are indispensable values. From the outset LUKAS has also set high standards for quality and product safety, and combines them with innovative solutions to face the challenges of the future. That is why the company always focuses on the very latest technologies and developments from a range of industries, so that LUKAS-ERZETT GmbH & Co. KG can set benchmarks on the market from an early stage.
Today, LUKAS-ERZETT as a company is a strong community of 650 employees worldwide who are committed to the highest quality and continual ongoing development. As an employer, LUKAS attaches great importance to creating an environment in which employees can develop their potential and flourish. The corporate culture is based on openness, teamwork and the pursuit of excellence, and offers numerous development opportunities.
LUKAS employees are proud to be part of a company that puts its values into practice. As an employer, LUKAS is committed to health and safety in the workplace and actively promotes social and environmental responsibility, because the company considers its employees to be the key to collective success and values commitment and passion.
The continual goal of being a forward-thinking company is reflected in the LUKAS product quality and corporate culture, as well as in the current corporate identity. As a company that emphasises the importance of innovation and sustainability, the focus here is on a modern and uniform appearance to reflect the visual identity of its values and the commitment to quality and progress. All products made and sold by LUKAS offer superlative quality characteristics such as a long tool life, outstanding ergonomics and powerful working capabilities, and they deliver outstanding results in grinding, cutting, milling, polishing or high-precision machining processes. LUKAS is committed to quality and embodies this day in, day out. This makes LUKAS tools a consistently reliable and trustworthy factor in the manufacturing process and ensures the best possible production quality.
The corporate identity of LUKAS-ERZETT is modern, clear-cut and appealing. It underscores the company’s position as an innovation leader in the industry and also emphasises its commitment to sustainability and ethical conduct.
