With this branch office we also increase our international presence, and more specifically in the Asian market, where Lantek has already a significant strength, with branch offices in Japan and South Korea and with more than 400 customers in Asia." "With this new office in India, Lantek reached the number of 8 branch offices abroad.
Since 1991, when we opened our first branch in France, we have developed an important internationalization process that has allowed us to gain an important market share in countries as technologically advanced as Germany, Italy, United Kingdom, United States, Japan and Korea.
This has made it possible for Lantek to sell more than 70% of its production in foreign countries and to reach the historical figure of more than 4000 customers in 67 countries all over the world.
We have the strongest international direct presence among our competitors.
We are, no doubt, a world-wide reference in the CAD/CAM software for the sheet metal industry." points out Gabika.
