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 actively shape the future and the courage to embrace change and to think in a visionary way that is 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 em- ployees – and into an international market leader for cable technology. All the signs are pointing towards the future. this has not only become clear at Lapp’s new, state-of-the-art european head- quarters in Stuttgart-Vaihingen. the third generation of the Lapp family has now taken on responsibilities within the company. thinking and acting in a value-oriented way is and remains an important component of the company philosophy. After all, the name Lapp also stands for this.
