For one, the <strong>family-owned company<\/strong> set out as early as the 1950s to develop numerous markets outside Germany. Decades-long, cross-generational business relationships with customers and partners around the world still bear witness today to this far-sighted business policy.   <\/p>\n\n<p>Secondly, <strong>more than 30 years ago<\/strong>, the company began establishing an additional production site outside Germany. By expanding these production and sales capabilities through the founding of LUTZ Polska in Nysa, the starting point for LUTZ\u2019s consistent internationalization was set.  <\/p>\n\n<p>In 2023, <strong>LUTZ North America<\/strong> began operations in Charleston (South Carolina) as a \u201csales service and warehouse\u201d for the USA and Canada (a market of approx. 380 million inhabitants). Even if the number of inhabitants in a target region has no direct impact on the demand for industrial blades, it does at least indicate relative scale. That is why it is also strategically important for LUTZ, as a medium-sized family-owned company, to develop in the direction of where new market potential is emerging\u2014for example, India with its around 1.4 billion inhabitants. In 2026, LUTZ India will launch with a base in Pune.   <\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cWith our own LUTZ subsidiaries in <strong>Europe, the USA and Asia<\/strong>, we are consistently moving closer to our customers and trading partners around the world. Our goal is to expand delivery performance (availability and speed) as well as advisory expertise in the sales markets, in order to continue pursuing the growth mindset of the founding generation,\u201d explains Jan Uellenberg, Sales Director at LUTZ.  <\/p>\n\n<p>In just 100 years, a small Solingen contract grinding shop for razor blades has developed into a globally positioned flagship company in industrial blade manufacturing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LUTZ Group If you take a closer look at the blade manufacturer LUTZ, you will notice things that form the basis for today\u2019s success and the company\u2019s growth mindset.
