FROM SMALL START-UP TO GLOBAL PLAYER

The name Lapp not only stands for innovative strength and quality, it also stands for continuity. The Lapp company was founded by Ursula Ida and Oskar Lapp in 1957 as an ambitious family company — and to this day has remained as such. The desire to shape the future proactively and the courage to embrace change and to think in a visionary way focused on solutions and customers are what make the company great. Our relationships with our employees, suppliers, and customers which are based on partnership have always played a central role here. In less than 50 years, the small Stuttgart-based family business has evolved into a global player with around 3,200 employees — and into an international market leader for cable technology. The future is taking shape at Lapp’s new state-of-the-art European headquarters in Stuttgart-Vaihingen. The third generation of the Lapp family is now active in the company, taking on business responsibilities. Thinking and acting with a focus on value remains an important component of the company philosophy. Through the years and around the globe, the Lapp name stands for this dedication.
