Lantech, a global expert in packaging automation, has expanded its Louisville, KY, manufacturing facility to include production of its modular case erector machines. This milestone marks another significant step in the company’s strategic growth, and will continue to improve lead times, better support to North American customers, and increase production capacity for its case handling business.
Lantech opened its 15,000-square-foot case handling equipment factory in Louisville, KY, in 2023 to build standard case erectors (C300 and C400 models), which were then being built in the company’s Malden, Netherlands manufacturing facility. In December 2024, Lantech successfully built the first modular case erector on the new production line in Louisville, which is a mirror copy of the modular case erector production line in Lantech’s Malden factory. This ensures that the Louisville operation produces the same high-value equipment that the industry has come to expect from Lantech case equipment.
"The expansion of our Louisville facility is a key investment in our ability to better serve our customers," said Jim Lancaster, Owner and CEO at Lantech. "By bringing modular case erector production closer to our North American customers, we can reduce lead times, optimize costs, and continue to deliver the consistent, high-value equipment Lantech is known for."
This latest expansion strengthens Lantech’s global manufacturing footprint and enhances their ability to meet the growing demand for innovative automated packaging machines. It is a testament to Lantech’s relentless commitment to innovation and delivering superior value to their customers, ensuring Lantech continues to set the standard in packaging automation.
