The Lapp Group success story began 60 years ago in a garage in Stuttgart-Vaihingen. Back then Oskar Lapp (1921– 1987) developed the first industrially produced control cable and with his wife Ursula Ida Lapp founded U.I. Lapp KG. They called their invention by the brand name ÖLFLEX®, which today still stands for particularly oil-resistant and flexible cables. Today the group unites the structure of a global group of companies with the unique strengths of a family-run enterprise. The high degree of continuity and stability afforded by the owning family, combined with dedicated customer-centricity, innovative power and consistent brand policy are vital for company success. The third generation of the family is already actively involved in the company.
Worldwide the family-run company employs 3,440 people with more than 17 production sites and 40 sales companies, and cooperates with around 100 foreign agencies.
