Then as now, the company is family-owned, with Matthias Lapp now the third generation to take on responsibility in the company.

The future has a lot to do with our origins. A look back at the company's history makes it clear where our strengths lie, which are ultimately responsible for LAPP's international success.

For us at LAPP, our roots and the values of our company founders Oskar and Ursula Ida Lapp are an incentive for our actions today and in the future. Then as now, our values determine what we are, namely customer-oriented, innovative, performance-oriented and family-oriented. The Lapp entrepreneurial family stands for these values. This is how LAPP was able to develop from nothing into the world market leader for integrated fastening systems and become an outstanding example of the successful globalization of German SMEs.
