"Innovation is only truly successful when it is sustainable in the long run"

- Udo Lütze

Sustainable thinking and acting

Sustainable enterprise means thinking and planning ahead, understanding and embedding the belief that long lasting success is more important than short-term profit maximisation. This is an attitude that has existed within LÜTZE for some time. Economic and environmental responsibilities compliment each other well and are reflected in sustainable management and product policy – and also in the LUETZE sustainability campaign, SkyBLUE.

SkyBLUE

Sustainability has many facets
The LUETZE International Group manufactures their products in a resourceful and energy-conscious manner, we use durable and environmentally- friendly materials. Intelligent products also help our customers to save energy and resources. Sustainable products provide sustainable solutions.

Business is done between people

Quality, innovation and efficiency begins with people. We would not be where we are today without our highly qualified and motivated employees. An uncompromising focus on quality, nearly 60 years of experience in Automation Technology and of course a common desire for greater innovation and efficiency – that’s what makes LÜTZE so successful.

Industry 4.0 needs communication, commuication needs security! LUETZE provides power monitoring, power systems and interface solutions for the Internet of things. LUETZE control solutions are characterized by particularly high efficiency. Minimal device dimmensions assist in the reduction of cabinet volumes, thus reducing the cooling energy required. Efficiency to the smallest detail.

 

Innovations

With countless pioneering achievements and patents, LUETZE is today one of the world's leading companies in the automation industry. LUETZE invests considerably more in research and development than the industry average.

LSC and AirSTREAM

In 1972 the LSC wiring system revolutionized the way control systems are wired and build. Today, the AirSTREAM System is revolutionizing the control cabinet again. Making compact and thermal optimized control cabinets possible.
