Two renowned players in the core shooting machine industry—Laempe Mössner Sinto of Germany and Lüber of Switzerland—have announced a strategic partnership aimed at strengthening their technological and market positions in a rapidly evolving foundry landscape. The alliance comes at a time when manufacturers worldwide are facing rising operational costs, increasing technological demands, and intensified global competition. Together, the two companies will combine their respective strengths to deliver advanced, reliable, and customer-focused solutions to foundries across the globe.
Laempe Mössner Sinto is recognized internationally as a comprehensive provider of core making technologies, including core shooting machines, sand processing systems, automation equipment, and automatic visual inspection solutions. The company is also at the forefront of innovation with developments such as its L3D-200 3D printer for flexible and efficient core production. Its clients include major automotive OEMs, commercial vehicle manufacturers, and precision-driven medium-sized foundries.
Lüber, based in Switzerland, brings decades of experience in modular core shooting systems, gas generators, and mixing solutions. Known for its adaptability and robust engineering, the company specializes in creating compact, tailor-made systems customized to each client’s needs—serving both regional and international foundries.
By combining their expertise, Laempe and Lüber aim to accelerate innovation and strengthen customer support across the foundry value chain. Their collaboration will focus on integrating research, testing, and development resources to shorten innovation cycles and deliver new solutions faster and more cost-effectively. Production capacities will be shared to ensure uninterrupted supply and improved flexibility during high-demand periods. Customers will also benefit from a broader service network, enhanced spare parts availability, and optimized operational support.
“This collaboration goes far beyond a traditional partnership—it’s a strategic response to the complex challenges facing our industry,” said Andreas Mössner, Managing Director of Laempe Mössner Sinto. “By working together, we can adapt more swiftly to market shifts and continue to deliver top-tier technologies to our global customers.”
Echoing this sentiment, Wilhelm Bovens, Managing Director of Lüber, stated, “Our close geographical proximity and complementary market focus make this partnership a natural fit. It enhances flexibility, preserves regional know-how, and creates clear value for customers. It also supports my goal of ensuring long-term stability and growth for Lüber through cooperation with a strong, dependable partner like LaempeMössnerSinto.”
The close locations of Schopfheim and Bazenheid will enable seamless operational coordination, while the companies’ differing market approaches will ensure complementarity rather than competition. The partnership represents a significant step toward long-term sustainability and innovation in industrial mechanical engineering.
Laempe Mössner Sinto GmbH is the global market leader in core manufacturing technology for the foundry sector. Its portfolio spans the full spectrum of modern core production—from conventional and additive to hybrid solutions.
