Lödige Industries GmbH is a supplier of logistics systems and lift equipment and is internationally represented with locations in Europe, Asia, America and the Middle East. The headquarters of the medium-sized company has been Warburg/Scherfede in North Rhine-Westphalia since 1963.[1]
History[edit]
In 1938 ten years before the foundation of the "Dipl.-Ing. A. Lödige Maschinenfabrik" two Lödige brothers had already applied for a patent for lifting cars.
In 1948 Alois Lödige finally founded the mechanical engineering company "Dipl.-Ing. A. Lödige Maschinenfabrik" in Paderborn. Just one year later, the first product, the "Hubfix", is presented at the first industrial trade fair of the post-war period in Frankfurt. The company experiences early success with its first products designed to facilitate post-war reconstruction. In 1961, the company was renamed a GmbH (limited liability company). By 1965, a new and expanded production site is needed and found in Warburg/Scherfede. The other and second production site is in Romania.[2]
In the 1960s, expansion into new markets and business areas takes place. In 1966 Lödige Benelux is founded, with a focus on hoists and goods lifts. The first air freight terminal built by Lödige Industries is inaugurated at Schiphol Airport in 1975. In 1979 Dr. Rudolf Lödige, nephew of the founder, joins the company and takes over its management in 1980.[2]
In the 1980s and 1990s Lödige Industries builds on its success in the air freight industry with projects in Germany, the United States, Great Britain and Asia. In 1992 and 1995, the first automatic parking systems are installed in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and Duderstadt, Germany.[2]
Between 2005 and 2018, many large projects were completed, such as the Asia Airfreight Terminal and the Air Cargo Terminal in Helsiniki.[3] In addition, car lifts were added to the portfolio of lifting equipment. Lödige Industries contributes to urban planning with its automated parking systems, such as Europe's largest automated underground parking garage in Aarhus, Denmark. In more than 70 years, the company has so far supported and completed a total of more than 50,000 projects.[4]
Since 2018, Lödige has offered products in the areas of parking solutions[5], lift solutions[6], airport logistics[7], production logistics[8] and service[9]
In 2020, to expand and improve its service portfolio, the company acquired Mecfab Enterprises, an Australian service provider for airport logistics solutions, and acquired B&B Aufzugsbau, a service provider for lift solutions in Germany.[10]
Corporate Structure[edit]
The logistics and materials handling company is a medium-sized, family-owned business that employs more than 1,000 people worldwide and has an annual turnover of $146 million.[11]
The employees are spread over 25 branches and the headquarters in Warburg/Scherfede. In addition to the headquarters, Lödige Industries has 5 other branches in Germany.[4] The remaining branches are located in Australia, China, Denmark, Greece, United Kingdom, Qatar, Malaysia, Netherlands, Oman, Poland, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, Singapore, Turkey, United States, United Arab Emirates.[4]
Globally, the company serves 40 countries.[4]
General Information[edit]
Lödige Industries advocates industry and sustainability in harmony. That is why the company obtains 100% of its electricity in Germany from its own photovoltaic systems and a hydroelectric power plant that has been in operation since the early 1960s and is located along the Diemel River.[12]
In the book "Focus on Architecture", published in 2021, outstanding architectural projects with technology installed by Lödige Industries are presented.[13]
