The same company supporting the precision machining of Switzerland's watchmaking industry is raising production efficiencies in China. While manufacturers rely on machine tools to fabricate metal parts for their products, LNS Group provides top-tier peripherals for such equipment to optimise performance, quality and reliability on the production floor. From bar feeders and chip conveyors to coolant and air filtration systems, LNS automates the production processes in all major industries, such as medical, electronics, luxury, transport, energy and machinery.

"It's really about understanding market needs and delivering innovative and competitive products," says Gilbert Lile, chairman of LNS Group Management. "We're developing products suited for the Asian market with a clear focus on improving productivity and automation."

In more than 40 years, the machine tool peripheral equipment specialist has grown from a small workshop in Orvin, Switzerland, to nine production centres worldwide covering North America, Europe and Asia. The main research and development centre is located in Switzerland. However, local engineering teams adapt the product to meet specific regional client application requirements. The company's global footprint also assures original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and customers of reliable after-sales service worldwide.
